Already done 180 horse under 50k..Good deal? it's worth a look.

They are out there, with or without conversion. note the times since major, there are shops that will overhaul the GO-300-D.
I had a friend bring me a early 175 for pre-buy/annual last summer, it needed a gear box but run well, equipped with 2 Narco 12Ds IFR radio package, very clean fuselage, and interior.
I talked to Western Skyways about rebuilding the Reduction gear box, they quoted 7500 for regrinding the reduction gears shafts to .010 under and fitting new .010 under bearings. the owner considered it because the engine had 6 new ECI cylinders and ran really great.
He desided to dump the aircraft for 18k. and it sold in a week.
