1979 Cessna 172/180 ConversionSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1979 Cessna 172/180 conversion (registration C-GDGE) presents an interesting amphibious floatplane option with a substantial engine upgrade. The airframe shows 13,619.9 total hours, while the Lycoming O-360-A3A engine has only 549.3 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) against a 2,000-hour TBO, indicating significant remaining engine life. The 180 hp powerplant represents a notable performance enhancement over the standard 172 configuration.

The aircraft comes with extensive documentation, including complete airframe, engine, and propeller logs dating back to 1992, along with weight and balance records and modification logs. Based in Brockville, Ontario, this VFR-equipped floatplane is being marketed with tariff-free status, which may be advantageous for cross-border buyers. The comprehensive paper trail and recent engine work make this a compelling option for buyers seeking a well-documented 172 conversion with amphibious capability.
