We have been looking for a light surveillance aircraft for anti-poaching work. Was looking at the Zenith 750 but this surpasses the performance of that...

The Australians have some amazing designs.

Interesting. What's the cost? Lyc IO-360? Though it might be more capable, is it a more cost effective solution than a Super Cub or Husky?

That's the bitch of it as I am finding out. You can purchase three Super Cubs for the price of one Seeker - about the same threshold as a tricked out Husky. You can cut out a lot of the glitzy items from the Seeker like the Garmin glass cockpit and save some bucks, but it's still pricey compared to many other alternatives. The two potential savings that could tip the balance is operational costs and maintenance costs so the Seeker over time could save a buck or two.
