Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

Today’s Top Pick is a 2007 Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey Adventure.

Progressive Aerodyne’s SeaRey amphibian started out in the early 1990s as a kitbuilt aircraft, though it evolved from designs that were flying in the 1970s, driven by enthusiasm for homebuilt ultralight and experimental sport aircraft. Today the Adventure and Elite models are available as production-line LSAs, and technological advances in engines, airframes, and systems have helped these aircraft develop into notable performers.

The SeaRey has built a following not because of speed, comfort, load-carrying capacity, or most of the other qualities pilots typically tout when discussing their traditional certified aircraft. Indeed, it does not excel in any of those areas. The aircraft’s fun factor, though, is extremely high according to people who fly them. They provide a tactile, engaging, even raw flying experience that can be difficult to find today, despite the vast number of aircraft types available.

This 2007 SeaRey Adventure has 208 hours on the airframe, its Rotax engine, and its three-blade carbon propeller. The aircraft’s avionics include a Dynon EFIS, King radios, Mode C transponder, and two-place intercom.

Pilots looking for a fun, engaging introduction to flying off water should consider this 2007 Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey Adventure, which is available for $58,500 on AircraftForSale.
