Which Cherokees can carry 4 small adults and 50# for a total of 725# ? Be able to do that with full fuel. Can 150hp do it? Is 160hp the minimum? Would I need to go all the way to 180hp?

Most use would be 1, 2, or 3 people total but I might want to be able to do 725# plus full fuel on occasion.

Takeoff from 5500' paved. How long of a grass strip would be needed to safely land at that weight?
