This 1978 Beechcraft A36 Bonanza (N4738M, serial E-1258) presents as a well-equipped, low-time example with only 4,034 total airframe hours and an 860 SMOH Continental IO-550B engine overhaul performed by Zephyr Aircraft Engines. The aircraft features a comprehensive avionics suite including an Aspen EFD1000 PFD with synthetic vision, Aspen PFD1000 MFD, Garmin 430W GPS, and ADS-B compliance with both in/out capability. Notable performance enhancements include D'Shannon tip tanks adding 30 gallons of fuel capacity, a gross weight increase to 4,010 lbs, and vortex generators for improved handling.

The aircraft shows careful maintenance with current inspections (annual due December 2025, IFR checks due May 2026) and benefits from numerous STC upgrades including GAMI fuel injectors, a standby alternator system, and engine cooling modifications. The interior features beige executive leather seating with reversible second-row configuration, while the exterior sports a sharp Jet Glo Matterhorn White paint scheme with blue/silver accents. Some wing skins and flight controls were replaced following 2008 hail damage. With a useful load of 1,461 lbs and factory air conditioning, this Bonanza offers both performance and comfort for its six-place cabin.
