Today’s Top Pick is a 2014 Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey LSX.

The Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey has been a popular kitbuilt and light sport amphibian aircraft since its introduction more than 30 years ago.

Known for its responsive and engaging flight characteristics, the SeaRey often attracts experienced pilots who appreciate its sprightly performance and the go-anywhere quality of an airplane that can land on water as well as runways.

This version of the long-running design, with a powerful turbocharged engine, offers pilots additional climb and cruise performance over standard models. Experienced SeaRey operators emphasize the need for specialized training in this aircraft and others with high thrust lines.

With its pusher engine mounted above the wing, the SeaRey tends to change pitch with variations in power setting. Pilots have to be smooth and deliberate when quickly increasing or decreasing power and ready to compensate immediately with pitch adjustments. The training is worthwhile, as many pilots say the SeaRey is pure fun to fly.

This 2014 SeaRey has 579 hours on the airframe and 578 hours on its Rotax 914 turbo engine. The VFR panel includes a Garmin GPS and Advanced Flight Systems 5500 touchscreen.

Pilots looking for a factory-built light sport aircraft with the versatility of an amphibian design and the added performance of a turbocharged engine should consider this 2014 Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey, which is available for $115,000 on AircraftForSale.
