Well, I pulled the trigger on some mods today for my 182 - ordered the Airplains IO-550 conversion from seaplanes west, as well as their 400 lb upgross kit. Having the engine ported and polished and I've been told a minimum of 330 HP. As soon as it comes out of the paint shop, I'll be getting down to Seaplanes for the work in April. Can't wait to get it on the water

Man that's a sweet setup! I'm jealous for sure. Maybe someday
