FWIW here is my experience:

I'm into my second year of 337 ownership. Definitely not the highest number of hours (~600), but mostly on retracts so that helps. At the time I bought, I had very low multi time - basically the hours from my rating plus a couple more here and there.

The insurer who I was with for my previous airplane would only give me liability/not-in-motion for the first year due to hours and aircraft type. Fair. Was asked for my plan to get trained in the 337 - gave it to them, no questions asked.

They said try again for in-motion next year. Renewal came around, original insurer still wouldn't give in-motion. Shopped around to other brokers, both of whom had no problem giving in-motion coverage for all six seats, and a fair hull value. Ended up being cheaper than what I was paying for in-motion on the previous airplane with the original insurer, at the same hull value and only one seat.

Worth pointing out that I'm in Canada, but the underwriters in question write policies in the US as well. One broker told me as long as the airplane was N-registered, they would write a policy no matter where in the world it was actually located.

We'll see what next year's renewal brings. It would be great to stay with one broker rather than having to shop around every time.
