I think the Bonanza V-tail has an excellent reputation if properly flown and maintained. It handles better in a crosswind than the straight-tail Bonanza. Much lighter on the controls than the A36. Sportscar feel.

The short-body Bonanzas (V35 and F33) are really 2+2 aircraft unless you put a Turbonormaliser in front. This helps a lot with the W&B.
On the A36, the wing was moved 10" aft, this solves the W&B problems.
