2015 Rebuild History

The aircraft's documented history states that the original Classic kit was built by Dave Lima in 2011 and later purchased by SeaRey instructor Daniel Myers. After a hard landing damaged the landing gear, the fiberglass hull and wings were reported not to have been damaged.

Angel Rivera, who had approximately 20 years of experience building kits under contract at the factory, was then hired to rebuild the aircraft from the ground up in 2015, with the exception of the wings. The rebuild incorporated numerous LSX components and upgrades throughout the airframe, controls, cockpit, landing gear, electrical system, and supporting structures.

The aircraft also received new DuPont paint over the entire airframe by Flying Colors in Leesburg, Florida.

With its extensive LSX conversion, documented rebuild history, updated Rotax powerplant, newer carbon-fiber propeller, ADS-B capability, differential brakes, and substantial list of structural and systems upgrades, this SeaRey presents a much more complete story than a typical basic amphibious aircraft listing. Its ability to operate from both runways and suitable water surfaces provides the versatility SeaRey aircraft are known for.
