Bull****. It costs me less to insure my Bonanza for 6 seats than it
would to insure a 206 with 4 seats. Exact same hull value.


I have the fifth and sixth seat for my Bonanza but I haven't yet installed
them because of fear of a large insurance increase (a rumor perpetuated by
the previous owner). Also, there wasn't really a need until this year, now
that the surprise third child is eight months old and ready to fly.

I have no intention of using my fifth and sixth seats either. However
Avemco never asked about seats and I simply forgot to ask if it was
cheaper to just insure for four. So unless you already have a policy
that only insures four seats then go ahead and install your back seats.
