Yes, in a considerably older airplane with older avionics, higher
maintenance costs, etc. If it was a retractable, insurance would be more,
too.

Nevertheless, speed is good. I like Bo's, and very nice ones can be had
for $300K.

Sheesh, you can get a nice S35 like mine with a freshly overhauled 550 and
autopilot for about $100K. 190 kts true and $200K left over to play around
with.

Bo's older than '85 won't do.

Why the '85 cutoff? Is there a tax reason or corporate flight department
requirement? I'm very interested in this point.
