I am considering a new Piper Archer - anyone had experience with these and what have you found? If you are looking for an Archer, you would do well to search for a good, used Pathfinder or Dakota. It is basically an Archer airframe (with some substantial beefing-up) with an O-540, 6 cylinder, 235 horsepower Lycoming engine. It will out-perform a new Archer in every category, and has one of the largest useful loads available in a 4-seat aircraft. Best of all, it will run you "only" from $80 - $120K. For that kind of money, you can find a decent 6 airframe. you'll appreciate the extra space and same carrying capabilities(a little more in some cases). My payload is about 900lbs (after full tanks) in the 6-300. What I love more than anything about the PA-32 fuselage vs. the PA-28 is the extra space. You will too.
