That's a major reason I didn't buy a turbo 210 I looked at a few
years ago. Insurance on any 210 was outrageous, according to my
broker. I'm paying less of a yearly premium than quoted above, have
1MM smooth, an airframe that's 25 years newer and a hull value
almost four times that quoted above. This for my Mooney Bravo.


Any idea of why the difference is so dramatic? I thought the 210 had
a decent accident rate.

I'll probably end up with a 182 again as that way I have the required
50 hours in type.

6 vs 4 seats at least on the later models.
When was the 210 a four-seater?
