Description
175 KTAS, sippin’ just 10.5 GPH… Pat Jamison of Mason Amelia presents N231QP, a 1982 Mooney M20K 231 built around Mooney’s most enduring formula: Speed and efficiency. The M20K pairs Mooney’s slick airframe with a turbocharged Continental, letting pilots climb higher and take advantage of the performance that made the 231 such a contender. Owned and operated by a professional aviator with exacting standards, the aircraft benefits from consistent Blackstone oil analysis, Savvy engine trend monitoring, and borescope evaluations for documented oversight. N231QP stands out with key desirable upgrades, including a Merlyn automatic wastegate and GAMI injectors for improved turbocharger and engine performance. Precise Flight speed brakes that add valuable descent and energy-management capability to Mooney’s famously slippery airframe. The one-piece belly mod streamlines maintenance access, while built-in four-place oxygen and an electrically heated propeller round out the package for long hauls. A Garmin GI 275 with AHRS replaces the primary attitude indicator and pairs with a GTN 750Xi WAAS GPS/NAV/COM navigator. Rounding out the panel are a GMA 345 digital audio panel, a built-in carbon monoxide detector, and a slick, panel-mounted Garmin Aera 660 displaying ADS-B traffic and XM weather, with XM music for in-flight tunes. Ride in style with recently replaced custom carpeting, embroidered floor mats and wood accents. For a firsthand account, get the details straight from Pat Jamison. Call or text today!
