Yeah you have to like smelly oily leaky noisy radial engines a lot.... I also have a lot of time in 205-6's...two normally aspirated and one turbo...really nice modern airplanes if you are into that sort of thing. It's funny you also like Seabee's....now THAT is something rare and different..!
The fuelburn is a little high, but it's got room for five people, and anyone can work on a cessna 205, or 206, and they can also carry 1,000 lbs usable load. All can operate out of 1,000 ft strip.
