We were looking at a couple Meyers 200s before buying the Bo. Not quite as roomy, but fast and stout.

If you can’t afford a bonanza definitely don’t go for the next cheapest. Look at a greater spread so you can spend more time flying. Two hundred hours of flight time in a cheaper plane still cost over $8000 in fuel and over $1000 in hanger not even to add up maintenance. If you want to own it darn sure fly it don’t leave it in the hanger to rot. Now if this is not about money I would get a Malibu a step up in stead of down

Heck I want one now! Good choice, I have one. More shoulder room than a 4, 6, 7, or 9.
