YOUNGEST & ONLY M20J MSE ON THE MARKET. NO DAMAGE HISTORY. SUBSTANTIAL UPGRADES.
Donny Gabriel with Mason Amelia brings to market the only true MSE currently available: N242HM, a clean, well-sorted, and dialed-in 1990 Mooney M20J with complete logs and no damage history. Fuel-sipping efficiency: 155 KTAS at only 10.5 GPH!
The MSE benefits from a 28-volt electrical system, a one-piece belly, split magnetos (no more Siamese mags), landing-gear door mod, and a 2,900-pound gross weight. These upgrades join a host of other refinements that streamline the airframe for performance and give the appearance a sharper, more polished look.
N242HM’s upgraded IFR panel pairs an Aspen PFD with a Garmin GTN 650 navigator, GTX 345 transponder, and JPI EDM 830 engine monitor, delivering a comprehensive avionics suite providing seamless navigation, heightened situational awareness, and digital engine monitoring. A digital backup attitude indicator eliminates the vacuum system entirely.
Mechanically, the low-time engine and prop combination is as tight as they come, with both magnetos recently overhauled and a new alternator. Refreshed paint and a leather interior add to the look, complemented by exterior LED lighting all around. Open-checkbook ownership adds peace of mind. Always hangar-kept, meticulously cared for, and upgraded with thoughtful enhancements, this should be your next purchase.
