AOPA got me a quote of $3K for $1M smooth, $300K hull on a Turbo 182T.

Wow, really? What kind of hours/safety courses do you have in your
background
that resulted in such a low quote for $1M smooth at that hull value?

I just re-upped with USAIG and am paying $2900 for the '73 Bonanza with a
hull value around $170k (TKS, new engine, tip tanks, new avionics,
turbo-normalized), not $1M smooth. This quote with an IFR rating and about
1,200 total hrs, 600 hrs in the insured aircraft. Or is the difference due
to
the fact that the Bo is a retractable?

Probably.

My insurance went from $3425 on a 1991 B36-TC (HV:$365k), to only $3865 for
a 2006 C400 (HV:$575k).
