I don’t know if it is correct or not, but according to Wikipedia there was only 1 of those ever built. It’ll be interesting to see what anyone knows about it if it is truly one of one.

Brad There were two built and one remains according to the owner. I wonder if 200 HP is enough.

Scott,
I flew a friends M-5-235C (235 HP) Lunar Rocket (they are pretty proud of their planes) and was impressed with the ease of landing, but not the performance.
It might take a rougher field than stock 182, but a stock 182 flying at 2300 pounds, the gross weight of the Maule, would easily match it in takeoff distance and climb. So the 200 HP version might be OK for two people and gear if that's your mission profile.
In my opinion, for off airport flying, horse power and power to weight ratio are key.
