Boss 182 Lycoming IO-580 Conversion Now Available for Landplanes

Previously Only Certified For Floatplane Installations

A factory-new engine conversion for the Cessna 182 developed by Wipaire is now available for landplanes.

The Boss 182 Lycoming IO-580 engine conversion boasts a 58 pound gross weight increase on wheels. Owners can opt to use their existing engine mount, or can upgrade to Wipaire’s heavy-duty engine mount (required for float installation as well as floatplane gross weight increases). 

“Often, we find that the performance- and utility-enhancing modifications we develop for the float market are desirable to landplane owners as well,” said Chuck Wiplinger, President and COO.

Owners seeking to upgrade to the Boss 182 engine conversion will see no decrease in useful load with the engine conversion due to the 58 pound gross weight increase. Installation of the optional heavy-duty engine mount allows for the addition of Wipaire’s floatplane gross weight increases at a later time.
