Looking for ownership (flying/maintenance) experience onTurbo Saratoga. I am looking at a 1980 Saratoga Turbo, it seems these have 3600 gross weight and useful load of roughly 1300. With 100 gal tanks filled up, you get only 700 lb of payload capacity? What are the main issues/concerns with these models besides the turbo, what to admire and what to watch out for?
