Same family owned since 1974; excellent condition, provenance and history Purchased by late owner in fall of 1974. Mothballed following late owner's death in spring of 2007 (cylinder's fogged, oil drained, batteries removed, all drain plugs removed, floor boards removed, inspection plates removed, props are still pulled through periodically). In dry, heated, private hanger since 1974. Invited to and participated in Grumman's 50th anniversary celebration at Bethpage, NY. 2004 Grand Champion Seaplane at EAA Lakeland Sun-in-Fun. Featured on cover of numerous magazines including UK edition of Pilots Magazine (see photos). No corrosion: Hull is tight; ship can sit for days on water. Always hangered in "heated" facility and meticulously maintained. Extra parts include: tires, tubes, crankcase, spinners, custom-cradles for annuals, and more.

No corrosion or damage. Only one known salt-water landing since 1974. New fabric rudder, elevators & ailerons in 2007.
