1961 Cessna 185 FloatplaneSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1961 Cessna 185 Floatplane (Registration C-FNHM, Serial 185-0064) presents as a well-maintained amphibious workhorse with 3,155 total airframe hours. The Continental IO-470-F engine shows just 15 hours since major overhaul against a 2,000-hour TBO, paired with a zero-time 88" 3-blade Hartzell propeller. Notable recent investments include Aero 3500 floats, a complete new exhaust system, engine controls, cowl flap controls, and prop governor, along with fresh fuel bladders, sending units, and suction tubes. The airframe benefits from a Horton stall kit, new windshield, and upgraded landing gear components including heavy-duty main gear legs, rims, brakes, and a 1.25" tail spring assembly.

The cabin features practical upgrades with new front seats on dual-pin rails (equipped with safety stops and 3-point harnesses), foldaway bush seats in the rear, and fresh fairings throughout. While currently configured for hydraulic skis (not included in sale), the aircraft's recent mechanical refreshes - including new engine baffles, non-congealing oil cooler, and Sea Planes West engine mount - suggest careful attention to operational readiness. The listing notes good overall condition, with all specifications subject to logbook verification.
