This 1977 Grumman Tiger has been exceptionally well maintained and is truly a turn-key aircraft ready for its next owner. It combines the handling qualities and efficiency the Tiger is known for with a long list of desirable upgrades and proactive maintenance.

In 2023, the airplane received an extensive firewall-forward refurbishment including a new alternator and belt, baffling, ignition components, PowerFlow exhaust, oil cooler, engine mounts, McFarlane throttle and mixture cables, battery box, and numerous additional components. The panel is well equipped for both VFR and IFR flying with a Garmin GNX530W WAAS GPS/NAV/COM, Garmin GTX330ES ADS-B Out transponder, GMA340 audio panel, S-TEC 30 autopilot with GPSS steering, JPI EDM-830 engine monitor, Flight Data Systems GT-50, dual VOR capability, USB power ports, and a recently overhauled Mid-Continent altimeter.
