    Looking for your advice:<br /><br />Dear Searey owners and pilots. I need your advice. I am contemplating getting my sports pilot license and buying a Searey or an Aventura II. Before you all get upset with me I just want to do my due diligence. Therefore who better to draw an opinion from that this croup. Let me say that I did have the pleasure of flying in the Lee’s Searey this past week with Kerry and was very impressed. I have not flown the Aventura II.<br /><br />I am intruded with the camaraderie of the Searey group. I have been following it a few months now and am enjoying all the comments, pictures and videos. So if anyone would like to comment I would like to draw on your experiences on these two planes. Thank you. Gary 305-970-3658.<br />

    Do you prefer a mercedes c-class or a ford focus? for a lil more in price and longevity? <br />thats the searey comedy coming out in me.

    I grew up flying in the old buccaneer with Kerry and watched the evolution of that into the <br />searey. Nothing wrong with the aventura but its somewhat a 'glorified buccaneer' with a lil <br />better stream lining. But yeah, the comfort and performance of the rey is by far something <br />you will really never regret. Just like the other guys told ya, make sure you do your first ride <br />in the the aventura first and then do a demo in the Searey. That will help you in your <br />decision. Im sure we will be following you to see what you decide.

    I got my first water ops training in an Aventura II. Owned an Aventura HP single seat. I traded it for my Searey and haven't looked back.

    I owned a Aventura II for several years before the purchase of my <br />Searey. The Aventura was not a bad airplane, however Seareys are <br />better. If you buy an Aventura you will always want to upgrade to a <br />Searey. I was not completely happy until I sold the Aventura and <br />purchased my Searey. Also when I had the Aventura there was no <br />technical support available like there is with the Seareys. I had to learn <br />several expensive lessons the hard way. The hard lessons could have <br />been avoided If would have had technical support.

    Gary,<br /><br />No need to worry about getting upset. In 2000-2001 I did the same thing. Obtained <br />courtesy rides in each at SNF then visited both factories for closer inspection and test <br />flights. I chose the SeaRey because I felt it was a better design, sturdier, had sliding <br />canopies vs. snap-in plastic 'doors', etc. But the real swing factor was the folks at <br />SeaRey. Never had one regret with my selection.<br /><br />
