Today’s Top Pick is a 1991 Beechcraft F33A Bonanza.
For pilots seeking a capable IFR platform with classic Bonanza handling and modern avionics, this F33A presents a compelling option. With upgraded systems, anti-ice protection, and appealing cosmetics, the four-seat single is dialed in for serious personal transportation.
Based in North Carolina, this Bonanza has 2,185 hours on the airframe and on its factory-installed Continental IO-520-BB engine, rated at 285 hp. The three-blade propeller, also equipped with TKS anti-ice protection, has 663 hours since overhaul.
Up front, the Garmin GTN-750Xi serves as the primary navigator, paired with a King KX-155 nav/com for redundancy. A Garmin GMA-35 audio panel and intercom system keeps crew and passengers in sync, while a Garmin GTX-345 transponder provides full ADS-B In and Out capability. Weather and traffic information are displayed through the GTN-750Xi.
Rounding out the panel are a King KN-63 DME, WX-900 Stormscope, King KFC 150 autopilot with flight director, slaved HSI, and yaw damper.
This Bonanza includes factory-installed TKS anti-ice, rare among F33As, offering an extra margin of safety in cooler seasons. Other features include factory air conditioning, shoulder harnesses for all seats, Rosen sun visors, electric elevator trim, and Shadin fuel totalizer with GAMIjectors. LED lighting, custom cowling plugs, and an alternate static air system add utility.
The aircraft has a recent interior refresh with new leather seats and carpeting. The cabin looks like new and complements an exterior finished in whisper gray with deep-blue-and-black stripes. Always hangared, this Bonanza has no damage history, complete logbooks, and just three owners since new.
Pilots will also appreciate details like a second set of gear lights, large baggage door, ground communication switch, and standby gyro pressure system. A graphic engine monitor from Insight helps track powerplant health in real time.
This 1991 Beechcraft F33A Bonanza is listed at $269,000 and includes Bonanza School with the sale. With strong IFR capabilities, comfort enhancements, and a clean ownership record, it’s a prime candidate for cross-country travelers looking for reliable performance in a classic airframe.
