1947 Piper PA-12 Super CruiserSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Lino Lakes, MN, USA
This 1947 Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser (N40DZ) presents as a well-equipped backcountry floatplane with recent mechanical attention. The airframe shows 3,950 total hours and benefits from a major overhaul of both structure and fabric in 1997, along with an STC-approved gross weight increase to 1,935 lbs. Power comes from a Lycoming O-320-A2B engine upgraded to 150HP, with just 31 hours since its January 2024 overhaul by Horizon/Bolduc, featuring Slick magnetos, B&C alternator, and Sutton exhaust system. The aircraft carries EDO 2000 floats with wing locker and demonstrates useful loads of 704 lbs as a landplane or 504 lbs on floats.
