Snoop deflated

thanks folks,
interesting comments,
$476 is a bit off
$600 - 700 more realistic, for oz,
love the royal duke specs,

read somewhere PT6-21 can be had
for $60k ish, ex army pilatus dumped on market,
bit cheaper than-35s.
TBO is usually cycle related around 6000

IO 540 B4 overhaul around $60K.

Cont GTSIO 520 in Cessna 421, i had no joy with them, chewed up lots of cylinders.
remember an overhaul used to cost $58K in the nineties.
