What is going on here?

I agree. A tad overpriced. What does forkie reckon???:E

[Blue Sky Baron]

I think you'll find that it's a C33 Debonair, and if its the one I think it is, its a very nice aircraft.

[Ultralights]

i want to know how he gets his ULP at $1!

[VH-XXX]

Compressions good with good oil usage.

Choose to interpret that any way you like!

[Jabawocky]

I know this machine and the owners, and Mr Debonair Owner is a bad influence on young Jaba and Chuckles :ouch:.

I wonder what he is up to then.......... Must have his eye on something else.

Its a nice example of a Deb :ok:

[rocket66]

What's the TBO on an IO-470? I'd assume around 1500hrs in which case with 300hrs left on the prop you might be up for 75k again pretty soon??

Rocket

[Metro man]

Wait till you pay the running costs. :E

[maverick22]

The prop only has 370hrs, it says time since overhaul.

[Jabawocky]

Props OK, the engine is running down on hours but its running well.

The owner is a realistic man and knows the market is good for buying, and he is looking at other things, and is not a fool expecting really high money selling and buying rock bottom.

If somebody was after a nice Bo/Deb, and was happy to run past TBO and then repower, this would be a very good buy. Take it down to Riverina Airmotive for a rebuild and dyno........off you go!

J:ok:

[rocket66]

Sorry, your right maverick it is 307 since overhaul. My bad

rocket

[Clearedtoreenter]

Would have to be about 45 years old? (Why is it represented as a Bo if its a C33 - maybe an E33?) Lots of boat anchors in the panel. not exactly low or even medium time, not much engine time left... and been running on mogas??? Probably full of the dreaded worm, (is there a Deb/Bo around that isn't? -Chuck's excepted of course) but looks nice - asking $75K in the present market is about right but its going to be tough.

At least its getting a bit of free publicity here anyway.:=

[Waghi Warrior]

I think it's a E33 and the rejo could be VH-EOJ.

It's probley also a pre 70's model. Having said that it's a good buy.

If I bought it, I'd allow for another 100 grand, and fly the engine out and throw a IO 550 in it with a big paddle prop on the front. These thing's are the Rolls Royce of the GA fleet in my view.

From an engineering point of view, I'd also be looking closely at the log books and getting a good LAME to have a look at it before handing the bucks over.

It certainly won't be a jump in and fly away machine with nothing more to spend, it will cost money to keep the machine operating safely. However, one of these machines well maintained and equipped would be a perfect private aircraft.

What's a late model, low time second hand Bonanza worth these days in Oz at the moment, does anyone know ?

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

I think it's a E33

It is a Model 33 Debonair/Bonanza (BE33) but with an IO470 it is not an Bonanza E33.

Its a Deb.

A lot less than it was a few years ago...

Divide by $1.07 and its yours - let me know when you need to get it here!

[Jabawocky]

WRONG ..... Unless you plan on leaving it in the USA.

Otherwise divide by 1.07 or a bit less for currency conversion, add a bunch of costs for inspections ferrying and then getting it on the register here, and don't forget to add another 10% for GST. I doubt that would get here all done for under $300-310k unless you know something I don't

[Jack Ranga]

Having said that Jab, there's a couple of bizjets that are operating in Oz on November numbers rego's, they have been for a few years or so, so it's not a transition thing. I wouldn't do the research because I wouldn't do it this way but can you and what are the advantages of keeping an aircraft on its yank rego permanently in Oz?

[Jabawocky]

DR will be beside himself with joy with that in his hangar:ooh:

GNS480 is a popular but becominng out of favour device though.

[Mr Debonair]

Jaba and Chuckles - I can recommend these guys as great company if you are considering a foray into the intergalactic.

The fact is that Gaba and Chuckles, led Mr Debonair astray, not the other way around. In fact Mr Debonair tried on several occasions to point out the error of their ways, and loose himself from their grasp, especially after Mrs Debonair withdrew immediate support for the mission.

[Jabawocky]

I think we must have lead you astray pretty well, as your recollection of facts is a little blurry still. :}

[Chimbu chuckles]

Mr Debonair speaks with fork ed tongue - he may own a VERY nice Deb but he's a very bad boy:E

I hadn't had a near death experience on the piss since my Talair days - then I met Mr Debonair:ok:

[Arnold E]

Let's face it, most Boners are not worth $65000, much lest $75000. Most maintenance organizations love them, coz we make a small fortune from Beech products, especially
Boners:p

[Mr Debonair]

Chuckles, a bit melodramatic don't you think?
First bloke I have seen slide down the slippery slope into eternity without spilling a drop.

[ozaggie]

Hey Mr Deb, that thing still yours? Keen to have a look later this week.
OA

[Mr Debonair]

Yes its still mine
I will pm you with the details

First bloke I have seen slide down the slippery slope into eternity without spilling a drop.

Say that again...........if only we had the video to post on youtube.

Was it a loop or a roll? :E


Dont worry Chuckles....I will seek revenge on the bad man in 6 weeks or so.... :}

[Mr Debonair]

Full stall, 1 and 1/2 spin recovery, landed inverted, minimal damage with not a drop of fuel spilt. Clearly an incident and not an accident.
