ultralightPlaneFox tracks 5 Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey aircraft for sale and re-reads every one of them from the broker and dealer sites it watches, so the figures below move when the market moves. Every number on this page is measured from those live listings, not taken from a published price guide.
A Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey flies about 315 nm, roughly 583 km, which is about 4 h 2 min in still air at typical cruise.
A Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey costs about EUR 1,206 a month to run, or about EUR 144 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey is a two-seat amphibious light aircraft developed in the United States, with the design first flown in the early 1990s and production continuing in kitbuilt and factory-built light-sport forms. It is a high-wing, pusher-propeller flying boat with retractable landing gear, intended for both water and runway operations. Its importance in the used market comes from its combination of experimental-amateur-built accessibility, light-sport eligibility in many configurations, and genuine amphibious capability in a compact airframe.
Performance varies by empty weight, hull configuration, propeller, and engine, but most SeaRey aircraft are modest-speed recreational amphibians rather than cross-country tourers. Typical cruise speeds are in the roughly 75-90 knot range, with practical range commonly around 250-350 nautical miles depending on fuel capacity and power setting. Many examples use Rotax four-cylinder engines, especially the 100 hp Rotax 912 ULS; some higher-spec aircraft use turbocharged Rotax powerplants. Light-sport SeaRey configurations are generally operated at the seaplane LSA maximum gross weight of 1,430 lb. Useful load depends heavily on build standard, avionics, paint, and installed equipment, so individual weight-and-balance records are more important than brochure figures. Service ceiling is adequate for recreational VFR use, with most aircraft operated well below oxygen altitudes.
The SeaRey has side-by-side seating under a broad canopy, with good outward visibility and direct access to water and shoreline environments. Cabin space is simple and light-aircraft practical, with limited baggage capacity and relatively close attention needed to loading when carrying two occupants, fuel, and equipment. Avionics vary widely because many SeaRey aircraft are experimental or light-sport builds. Older aircraft may have basic analog flight instruments, a handheld or panel GPS, VHF radio, and transponder. Later or upgraded examples may feature glass panels such as Dynon SkyView or Garmin G3X Touch, ADS-B equipment, engine monitoring, and angle-of-attack or water-operation aids. Garmin G1000 or Perspective-style integrated suites are not typical for this model.
Buyers should evaluate the SeaRey as both an aircraft and a boat-hulled amphibian. Key inspection areas include hull condition, signs of water intrusion, landing-gear rigging and corrosion, fabric and composite condition, control-system wear, engine installation quality, and propeller clearance or damage history. Documentation matters: build logs, operating limitations, maintenance records, weight-and-balance data, and any light-sport compliance records should be reviewed carefully. Common market distinctions include earlier kitbuilt SeaRey aircraft, later LSX and Sport/Elite-type configurations, engine upgrades, glass-panel retrofits, improved interiors, and corrosion-resistant hardware for saltwater use. In the used market, the Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey typically sits as an affordable recreational amphibian compared with certified seaplanes, with value driven less by total time alone and more by build quality, equipment, maintenance history, and water-operation exposure.
