This 1965 Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche (N7747Y) presents as a well-maintained IFR-capable twin with mid-time engines and recent avionics updates. The airframe shows 5,140 total hours with both IO-320 engines at 900 hours since major overhaul, demonstrating consistent maintenance with all ADs complied. The right propeller is nearly new at 45 hours, while the left shows 1,310 hours since overhaul. Recent investments include a 2018 paint job, 2002 interior (described as clean though not plush), and functional IFR equipment including dual KX155 radios with ILS capability, Garmin 155 GPS, and an ADS-B compliant transponder. The panel features digital fuel monitoring showing 8-10 GPH consumption per engine when properly leaned, along with a working autopilot system with LNAV, ILS, and altitude hold functions. Currently undergoing annual inspection, the aircraft has a useful load of 3,600 lbs and shows strong engine compressions (73-76/80) from last year's checks. The seller notes no damage history and confirms full-time hangar storage at 6R3 (Houston area), positioning this as a reliable cross-country platform with recent systems updates.
