A Bonanza? Yes. I bought one. My S35, which is the fastest model,
cost me $88K this past August. At 75% I indicate 165 Kts and usually
true at 172-175 kts. That costs 15 gph. 165 kts true costs 13 gph. 155
kts true costs 11 gph. Want to bust your buddy's in the 182's chops?
19" and 2100 gets me 135 kts IAS on 9 gph. 1271 useful(with 4 seats in)
and a cabin that isn't a tomb to crawl into. Look in Trade A Plane,
there's a million of them for sale.


Newps,

What year is your S35?

How does the CG range work out? I always heard that it's "too narrow",
but I never really checked into that.

How big are the fuel tanks?

Thanks,
