Todd Goudeau to www.republicseabee.com:

"I just bought Seabee projects s/n 537 (N6314K) and s/n 906 (parts plane) from Robert McCarthy of Texas (08-05-2018). I plan on doing a full restoration of 14K along with several Mods.  The least of which will be a turbine engine conversion (Allison 250 380hp) and also retractable sponsons along with a conversion to tricycle gear (fully enclosed) and STOL leading edge cuffs on the wing and multiple fairings.   I know I know I sound like a nut!!  LOL!  But I've been engineering and designing these changes for 13 years and am an A&P, have build 6 homebuilts (most award winners at Oshkosh and Sun&Fun).  I'm finishing up a 170B Restoration and will start in Ernest on the Bee right after."
