Hey guys

I might have found a 185F amphib in New Hampshire that I'm interested in.

Does anyone have a A&P they would recommend in S. NH for a pre buy/annual?

Already have the FAA records CD ordered.

Also any good things to check on the pre buy
I know about the gear box, corrosion, and general stuff, any specifics on type?

The plane is a 185F, 520, on edo amphibs with the engine driven pump.

Give me a call, I think we could help you out.

Moultonboro airport.

I highly recommend Paul Zanis at Moultonboro. He's been my mechanic for 6 years and has extensive experience, terrific skills and doesn't miss a thing.

Are you in Bethel, Maine? I graduated from Gould Academy

Thought Id post a update. I bought the A185F, had Paul to the prebuy/annual, and couldn't be happier.

Thanks for all the help guys

If anyone wants to do some float fly-in stuff in upstate NY let me know!

Congratulations! A friendly recommendation....get a thorough and intense check out from an instructor who is very familiar with both the 185 and those floats. Those aren't the easiest floats to get to perform, and there is a strong tendency to overload them.

Good luck!
