My wife and I are flying around in a wonderful Cherokee 140. Problem is, we are kinda big people. So, I was looking at all the Piper options as I want to stay with that brand. I looked at all the PA28 series AC, and they all have the same width cabin. I REALLY like the Cherokee 235! Then, I looked at the PA32 series. Specifically, the Cherokee 6. That was the first airplane that I found that had a wider cabin. What are the gotchas with this airplane? I was looking at a 260hp, as I don't need the higher horsepower, nor higher maintenance and operating costs. Are the maintenance costs exorbitant? Would liposuction and a good deal on a 235 be a better option? lol. Thanks for the info that I would like to receive.
