1974 Cessna 185Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1974 Cessna 185 presents as a versatile bush plane with 2,576.6 total airframe hours and a freshly overhauled engine showing only 34.8 hours since major overhaul. The aircraft comes equipped with Aerocet 3500L straight floats, wheel gear, and straight skis for multi-season operation, complemented by a Sportsman STOL kit for enhanced short-field performance. The panel features basic IFR-capable avionics including a GPS/COM, secondary COM radio, KT-76A transponder with Mode C, and an I-Com 406 ELT, while bubble windows and tinted glass improve visibility.

The aircraft shows original interior in red and wine colors rated 7/10 and a two-tone red exterior rated 5/10. Notably maintained in fresh water since its 1988 importation from the U.S. (previously registered as N61434), this 185 carries the high gross weight modification and is equipped with wing tip strobes and extended fuel capacity. The low-time three-blade propeller and recent engine overhaul suggest strong mechanical condition, making this a turnkey backcountry platform ready for float, ski, or wheel operations.
