Subject:Dual Purpose Aerobatic planes--conflicts

(so what else is new)

Posted this in owning then realized people here might better be able to
help.
Is there a plane or planes that meet these requirements:

Certified for aerobatics
Practical for medium country trips (say 100<->1000 miles)
for 3 large adults (say 650 lbs payload PLUS room for fuel.)
Under $100,000 (used of course)

The aerobatics requirement is NOT for "optimization" but
just safe and certified, so that it can be used for recreation
and light practice.

(Of course) I do not mean that aerobatics would be done while
fully loaded either.

The C-152 Aerobat would meet all but the weight requirement
if I reduced the x-country to about 500 miles max but it is
really too small. I think that all of the purpose build aerobatic
planes are 1-2 seats...and have little weight load to spare.
