Description

ROCKET!!! ONE OWNER SINCE NEW!!! ALWAYS HANGARED!!! DRY WESTERN US HISTORY!!! This is not your grandaddy's Mooney. Incredible climb rate, and speeds up to 220-225 knots (typical speed is 200 knots even down at lower altitude around 12,000 feet MSL. The 305 Rocket Conversion replaces the 210hp Mooney factory supplied Continental 360ci engine with a fire-breathing Continental 305hp 520ci engine. Nothing beats horsepower when you want to to travel! The 305 Rocket provides the power and speed often reserved for aircraft two to five times the acquisition cost.
