1966 Cessna 185Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Hawkesbury, Ontario, Canada

This 1966 Cessna 185 presents as a well-maintained float-equipped aircraft with 7,121 total hours on airframe. The Continental IO-520-D engine shows 1,190 hours since major overhaul, benefiting from a fresh 2024 top overhaul with all new Millennial cylinders, new baffles, and two new Bendix magnetos. The three-blade Hartzell propeller was overhauled in 2016 and has only 194 hours since. Recent investments include a 2024-installed EDM 830 engine monitor, new fuel gauges, seat rails, and an overhauled airspeed indicator, with excellent compression readings across all cylinders.

The aircraft features Aqua 3300 floats in very good condition...
