Walt,
I would agree with you. If you overhaul an engine, you should probably fly
it for the first 500 hrs., and then you will of gotten your money out of it.
Overhauling and then selling makes no sense. Better to sell with the high
time engine.
What I was saying is that if you OH and hang on to it for the first 500
hours, you will see the $$$ for the overhaul through the sale of the plane
with about 500 hrs + the time you flew it. I know if I were buying a plane
with 100-200 SMOH, I'd be a bit skeptical as to why it was being sold, was
it broken in correctly, etc.

Oh I disagree on that point. My experience has been that selling a plane
that is near overhaul will leave you more net money in your pocket
than doing an overhaul and then selling.....Every time. You have to fly
out the value of a new engine or eat it.
