Today’s Top Pick is a 1991 Beechcraft F33A Bonanza.

It is hard to believe that the 33-series Beechcraft Bonanza—the “straight-tail” version of the company’s signature V-tail model—was once considered a low-budget model.

It is true, though, that the 33, initially called the Debonair, was Beechcraft’s effort to expand its market with a stripped-down, unadorned airplane that lacked the V-tail’s distinctive appearance and premium equipment.

In hindsight it is easier to see how this story would wind up. With many pilots preferring the Debonair’s more conventional looks, the model gained popularity and, eventually, the Bonanza name. Production of the 33 continued into the mid-1990s, long after Beechcraft stopped building V-tails.

This 1991 F33A has 1,766 hours on the airframe, 160 hours on its Continental IO-550 engine since it received a RAM conversion, and a Whirlwind III turbo-normalizer. The aircraft is equipped with a heated propeller that has logged 160 hours since overhaul.

The IFR panel features Garmin G500TXi avionics with 10.6-inch PFD and MFD, a Garmin GTN 750 GPS/nav/com, GNC 355 GPS/nav/com, G500TXi engine monitor, GMA 345 audio panel with intercom, GTX 345 transponder with ADS-B In and Out, garmin traffic and weather, Safe Taxi, Flite Charts, GNC 500 autopilot, standby airspeed, turn and bank, altimeter, dual Garmin G5 standby ADI, and USB ports.

The aircraft is equipped with D’Shannon engine baffles, B&C standby alternator, Turbo GAMI fuel injectors, Rammer II intercooler 74 gallons of usable fuel, and shoulder harnesses on all seats.

Pilots looking for a legendary four-seat Bonanza design with an unusually high level of power and avionics upgrades should consider this 1991 Beechcraft F33A Bonanza, which is available for $450,000 on AircraftForSale.
