Turbine power and amphibious floats in one of the most capable bush platforms ever built. This Boss Beaver conversion trades the Beaver’s original radial for a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-27, adding reliability, altitude performance, and useful load over a stock airframe, while keeping the short field and rough strip manners the Beaver is known for.
Runs off water, land, or gravel on 6100 Wipline amphibious floats, with a landing gear advisory system to keep transitions safe and a full set of landplane gear included for operators who want both. Loads up to 2,876 lbs useful on wheels, or 2,000 lbs on floats, with a 767 statute mile range for hauling people, gear, or cargo well off the beaten path.
Panel is built for real IFR work, not just VFR bush flying: Garmin G600 PFD/MFD, dual WAAS NAV/COM/GPS, autopilot, and full ADS-B compliance. Hot section, propeller overhaul, and a complete Canadian import inspection all recently completed, so it’s ready to go to work rather than sit in the shop.
