Should I get an old 337?

Depends on hull value. Figure aprox $3500- for a $150,000 hull. An instrument ticket saves you about 10%.

In my case I could not get insurance without an instrument rating, despite trying virtually all sources.

That was 10 years ago, with low times like you. I had good reasons for not wanting to get an instrument rating*, so I simply self-insured (i.e., don't carry insurance).

My insurance last year was $2446 for a $90,000 hull, $1,000,000 liability with the standard $100,000/person restriction. I have about 2300TT and about 600TT in C337 with instrument rating. My insurance has been dropping every year by about $100 to $150 since I purchased the airplane in 2002 with no time in type and 15 hours total multi-engine time when I started.
