Wondering how this compares,

I am considering putting hull insurance on my Maule. For years I've only carried liability. Just got a quote from my agency.... Forest Agency... in Chicago. I have had my liability insurance with them for many years. They quoted $1,125.00 annual for one million liability and $50,000.00 hull. Fifty grand is quite a bit less than I payed for the airplane 9 years ago....but probably a bit more than it is worth now.

I had expected a much larger amount for the hull. Only $865.00. The liability is $260.00. Does that compare to what others are paying? It sounds almost good to be true. I have thousands of hours of tailwheel time and 700 hours in the Maule, ATP, accident, incident and violation free. Age 64. Just wondering if this quote sounds legit.

I don't fly a Maule, I fly a Cessna 182. I have about 1400 hours in it and another 835 hours in a Cessna 170. The quote I got this year was lower than I have paid in some time. It was $774. for full coverage. I don't have the breakdowns with me. But last year I paid a little over $1000.
So your insurance doesn't seem out of line to me.

That sounds about right. On 2nd thought, it sounds real good for a tail wheel Maule.

Over 500 hrs in type I think is definitely helping. That's a great premium for $50k hull on a taildragger, and a Maule to boot. Your 30k+ hrs PIC prob doesn't hurt.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. I just insured my M7 6 months ago for about 2.5 x's that amount...however, the hull value is significantly more and I only had 50hrs of Maule/tailwheel time at that time. I asked Jeremy at maules.com when I got the quote and he seemed to think it was a good deal based on my experience...I have to agree.

Thats a heck of a deal. This is what I was looking at when I first started to fly my maule. Student pilot in 2008
Needless to say I only have liability coverage

i think im around $2400 for my M5-235, 1M liability, 85K Hull but i only have 400 hours and mine is on floats so that adds too.
