Hi all!
Just got my insurance bill for renewal of my RV-6 for the next year and

it has jumped up 38%!!  Has anyone had this problem lately?

Also, has anyone heard of them insuring an engine swap out to the Rotary

with Avemco continuing coverage?  I'm still wanting to convert ASAP.  As
usual with LYC, I'm seeing top end valve symptoms associated with typical
Air Cooled temp differential problems.  Vaughn.

Hi Vaughn,
    Yes, I had the same experience (around 28%) and I have been insured with
AVEMCO since 1997,  I have hull and liability and frankly I don't think I
can afford their Hull insurance rates at the rate of increase I have seen in
the last two years.  They tell me I am about 40 hours away from one of their
price break points, that they applied the RV discount, etc.

   I tried shopping around and only got one quote which was about 1/2 the
price of AVEMCO, so good in fact I checked into the company and found they
had a "B" rating as an insurance company and had once been acquired due to
bankruptcy - so I declined even though I liked the price.
