Kenmore Air acquired N87807, SN 1209, from the Washington State Dept. of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) in 2007. WDFW operated the plane from 1977 to 2007. Kenmore sold the plane to an individual in Spokane, WA and Kenmore Air obtained it again in 2011 and rebuilt it for the current owner in 2012. The plane has no damage history and has flown 73 hours since the rebuild. It has been kept in a heated hangar since 2012.

The airframe was stripped of paint during the rebuild and the majority of skins replaced. A Wipline 5600 lb. gross weight STC and Sealand extended baggage with Alaska Door was installed.

A new leather interior was installed during the rebuild with Cessna articulating seats and inertial shoulder belts for the pilot and copilot. Kenmore split three-place center bench seat and Sealand rear three-place rear sling seat. Alaska Door with cargo net attach points.
Kenmore installed a new set of Wipline 6100 amphibious floats during the rebuild and a set of standard wheel gear with Cleveland wheels and brakes is included in the sale. N87807 was exported to Canada as C-GZTY in August 2012. Obtaining a U.S. N number is a simple process as it would be a reissue of the original Airworthiness Certificate. The plane is currently in the process of getting an annual inspection.
