Scott,
I got coverage on a 310 with no rating but was back in 2001. But it cost
$6500 to insure it for $120k. I had the Commercial ME rating and close to
200 the next year and it dropped to $3500. It was abt the same last year
with new engines ($170k Hull) and 600 hrs. Keep looking and good luck.

Can a multi-engine student get insurance for his own ME airplane,
based on his instructor's ME time? One insurance company is saying
"no way"; they'll only insure him AFTER he get's his ME rating. I'm
wondering if this is universally true.
