I have young kids, so I figure the total weight for us is about
1,000 lbs (2 adults and 5 children). Or does having a Seneca I or
Seneca II configured for optional 7th seat force you to reconfigure
with smaller tanks? I saw that both the Seneca I and Seneca II have
optional 122 gallon capacity. Would having the 7 seat configuration
make the optional long range fuel no longer an option?



You might want to expand what you are looking at to the Aero Commander
5/6 series. As an example. a 680 has a usefull load around 2600
pounds....7 seats and full fuel plus baggage. Sure, it's an older a/c,
but properly taken care of and handled (if you have a model with
geared engines) they will outlast you and your family.


I looked at the Aerostar, but the 500B twin commander from the mid 60's is
like $200K. I want to try and stay under $100K, which I can do with a
Seneca I or Seneca II. What are your thoughts in my purchase price
constraints?
