This 1966 Cessna 185 floatplane presents as a well-maintained amphibious workhorse with recent mechanical investments, showing 7,121 total airframe hours. The Continental IO-520-D engine has 1,190 hours since major overhaul, benefiting from a fresh 2024 top overhaul with all new Millennial cylinders, new engine baffles, and two new Bendix magnetos. Engine compressions are uniformly excellent at 78 psi across all cylinders, and the aircraft has been operated exclusively in fresh water. The three-blade Hartzell HC-C3YF-IRF/F848A-8R propeller was overhauled in 2016 and shows 194 hours since.
