Aircraft value
It is difficult to value a one-of-a-kind aircraft. This airplane is basically a Super Cub with a Super Cruiser fuselage, having a wider cockpit and a two-person back seat. It has a 160-hp engine instead of the 150-hp engine.
A Super Cub with 460 hours total time since a total rebuild, that is IFR-certified with traffic and weather and an upgradable ADS-B transponder, on Alaska bush wheels, would probably sell for $90,000. to $110,000. That should make this airplane worth $110,000. The floats, which were new at the time of the rebuild, cost $70,000., so these should be worth at least half of that, or $35,000.
