Cessna 337B Aircraft in Florida

Florida is a major used-aircraft transaction state with high concentration of flight schools, dealers and aviation events (Sun 'n Fun, Naples, Vero Beach, Lakeland). The flat terrain and dense GA airport network make Florida ideal for cross-country training and recreational flying year-round.

← Cessna 337 family

The Cessna 337B is an early Skymaster (1967-1968) — the centerline-thrust push-pull twin with one engine in the nose and one in the tail, removing the asymmetric-thrust danger that makes conventional twins demanding. It cruises around 170 kt on two 210-hp Continental IO-360 engines. The buy case is twin redundancy with easier engine-out handling; the trade-off is the rear engine's cooling and the model's need for diligent maintenance.

Cessna 337B Price & Cost

Cessna 337B Price Guide

Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.

Cessna 337B Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (18.0 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$11,160/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$25,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$260/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 1,500 hrs)$25,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

The 337B's two Continental IO-360 engines burn approximately 22 gph combined - twin-engine cost at light-twin fuel burn. The annual covers both engines and the aft (pusher) engine's installation and cooling, roughly doubling engine-related inspection cost versus a single. IO-360 parts are available and well-supported, and the retractable gear adds a system inspection. As an early (1967-1968) Skymaster, corrosion and systems condition on the vintage airframe are pre-buy priorities. Two-engine operating cost is the premium for the centerline-thrust safety benefit.

Buying a Used Cessna 337B

Buying a Cessna 337B comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The Cessna 337B Skymaster (1965-1966) is a six-seat, retractable-gear push-pull piston twin - two 210-hp Continental IO-360 engines mounted in-line (one tractor, one pusher) on a twin-boom airframe, cruising around 170 knots. The centerline-thrust layout means no asymmetric handling if an engine fails, the feature that defines the Skymaster and its unusual place in the twin market.

Centerline thrust. With both engines on the centerline, an engine failure produces no yaw or Vmc rolloff - a genuine safety and training advantage over conventional wing-mounted twins. The trade-off is the rear (pusher) engine's tendency to run hotter and be harder to cool, so rear-engine cylinder and CHT history is a specific pre-buy item.

Twin capability, unusual airframe. The 337B offers twin-engine redundancy, six seats, and useful load in a distinctive twin-boom package. Parts and specialist support are narrower than for mainstream twins, and the rear-engine cooling plus retractable gear and complex systems mean higher maintenance than a single.

Pre-buy focus. Rear-engine cooling and cylinder history, both engines' condition, the retractable-gear system, corrosion in the twin booms, and completeness of maintenance records are the primary items. A Skymaster is bought on systems condition, not the low twin acquisition price.

Buy it if you want twin-engine redundancy without conventional-twin asymmetric handling - understanding the Skymaster is a specialist aircraft with narrower support and specific rear-engine cooling attention.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna 337B

What is the Cessna 337B Skymaster?
The 337B is a member of the 337 Skymaster family — a centerline-thrust twin with one engine in the nose and one in the tail on twin booms, so the engines are on the centerline rather than the wings.
What is special about the Skymaster's layout?
Because the engines are on the centerline rather than the wings, the Skymaster avoids the asymmetric-thrust handling of a conventional twin when one engine fails, which makes engine-out handling far easier.
How much does a Cessna 337B cost?
Used 337B prices vary with engine times and avionics. See the live price range and median above.
What engines does the Cessna 337B use?
Two Continental piston engines in a push-pull centerline arrangement — one tractor engine in the nose and one pusher engine in the tail.
How many seats does the Cessna 337B have?
Typically four to six, depending on the interior configuration.
Is the Cessna 337 a good twin?
Its centerline-thrust layout makes engine-out handling far easier than a conventional twin, though the rear engine's cooling and maintenance need attention. Condition and engine times drive value and safety.
Is the Cessna 337B still in production?
No — Skymaster production ended decades ago. The 337 is supported by a used fleet and parts network for owner-flown and utility use.

Cessna 337B Safety Record

Across all 337B variants, 13 NTSB-recorded events are on file from 1982–2004. As with any aircraft, most outcomes depend on pilot training, maintenance and operating conditions rather than the airframe itself.
