My partners & I sold our Cherokee 180 a couple months ago & have begun

our price envelope. We've now found one that's in our price range.
Anyone have any recommendations of things to look for in a 260 HP Six?
Gotchas? None of us know much about the Six. Two of us have hi-perf in 182s.

If your mission fits the C-182, you may also want to take a look at the
235 hp version of the 4-seat Cherokee (variously known as the
235/Charger/Pathfinder/Dakota). The Six is good if you need the extra seats.
If you can do with 4 seats, the 235 hp Cherokee is more along the lines of a
C-182 in terms of both capabilities and price.

Isn't there a large difference in insurance requirements/premiums between a 4 and
a 6-seat airplane as well?

There can be. I insure my Bonanza for four seats only. When I shopped
for a 206 about 4 years ago I was quoted two prices for insurance and
the savings were worth doing if you didn't want six seats.
