Cessna 206 insurance

[Chris]

Ok, this is a reaccuring theme but I would like to have some feedback
reg. insurance for a Cessna 206 for a low time (160h) VFR only pilot.
AOPA, for example, wants 250h.

Thanks

I've been very pleased with my insurance broker, Lee McKinley. He can
be contacted at (877) 247-7767 or . I'm just a
happy customer, and have referred a few others who also were pleased.

I have been looking at 206's of late and called my broker for insurance.
I have 1000 hours and 850 of that in my 182. The key to cheaper
insurance for a 206 is to only insure 4 seats if you don't need more
than that. For four seats the quote was $1900 on a $90K hull. If you
want the six seats your going to need an instrument rating according to
my broker.

I'm amazed at how crazy insurance is. Now tell me, how does an
instrument rating automatically make the addition two seats safer?

I have to try that because I may only need four seats (at least for
another year or so ;-) ). Without the option I got quotes from insurance
companies that would insure me. But I am still in the $4000-5000 range
(all six seat I assume, no instrument, 160h). AOPA would insure for
$2500 but requires 250h as I mentioned before.
I'll keep you updated guy ;-) and thank for the advise!
