Aluminum prop on the one I’m flying pulls the CG forward a bit. Same loading.

LB,
1,006 with AC and metal prop. It must be missing other options that a flight school wouldn’t need, but I don’t have those documents on me.
Yes, full fuel and pax to max puts you at the rear cg, and the rear pax can’t be two grown American men. You don’t need 56 gals if you are just doing the PHOG, PHLU, PHNY, PHOG circle. We don’t need that from HNL either.
The benefit I have is choosing who I haul to Maui, and don’t have to have a CFI eating up a seat and load, whereas I’m sure your customers come in all shapes and sizes +1 pilot.
All that said…seems a hot weather G3 22 or G5 seems ideal for flexibility you probably need. Not sure the lycoming would save you much in the long run on MX. George’s went that route because everything else in their hangar is lycoming.
