1973 Cessna 185 AmphibianSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1973 Cessna 185 Amphibian presents a well-maintained example with 7,500 total airframe hours and a 500-hour SMOH IO-520 engine, well below its 1,700-hour TBO. The aircraft features a fresh annual inspection and is described as a "snag-free" turnkey operation with complete logs since new and only three owners from new. The amphibious configuration includes Wipline 3730 floats, Horton STOL kit, and long-range fuel tanks for enhanced utility.

Avionics include a KLN90B GPS, panel-mounted Garmin Aera 660, Garmin COM, Narco COM 120, and a Mode C transponder for IFR capability. The exterior paint was renewed five years ago with limited use since, while the interior boasts recent navy leather seats. The propeller shows "0" hours since overhaul, complementing the low-time engine. Currently hangared in Ontario, this Cessna 185 Amphibian represents a rare combination of recent maintenance, desirable upgrades, and documented history.
