We are listing our 1981 Piper Saratoga for sale. We have owned the aircraft in a 2 person partnership since January 2020. It has been kept in a hangar at KRYY during its time with us and maintained by Silver Comet Aviation at KPUJ.

To start, this has been a superb aircraft. We needed more lift than our P35 Bonanza could provide, and this plane did not disappoint. The 300HP Lycoming IO540 has performed flawlessly and provides very nice cruise performance/economy. The plane will hold 102 gallons of usable fuel and can be run at a long-range cruise setting of 12.8GPH at 155knots. We added a Surefly Electronic Mag in replacement of the left magneto which enhances high altitude performance and hot start capability.

The G500 panel is combined with twin Garmin GTX650 Nav/Comms and a GTX 345r including ADS-B capability. A Flightstream 210 allows connection between the 650's and an IPAD equipped with either Foreflight or Garmin Pilot for wireless transfer of flight plans. We set the G500 in GPSS and allow the Century 41 autopilot to fly a full route and it's capable of shooting a coupled ILS or LPV approach to minimums.

The interior and exterior were renovated in 2008 and still present very well. We are the owners, and not a professional listing agent so would actually prefer to discuss the details with a potential buyer rather than try and list everything here. I will include a sample weight and balance along with the aircraft photos. Log Book photos will be available shortly through a Google Drive Link. Thanks for your interest!
