Our company used to have a 337. It is a great concept, but for what ever reason, poor execution. We used to joke that when you shut the hanger door, parts would fall off. We later purchased a pressurized version and can you say $$$$$$$$$$ in maintenance costs. It just seems that the prop wash going over the fuselage meets the rear prop wash and beats the airframe to death. I loved flying it - kind of a little fighter plane.
I also echo the Twin Beech comments. I love that airplane - she is a real sweetheart to fly. Tim's '59 C-310 is a damn cool bird too. I have lusted for one of those for a long time also. Well, any 310 would do...

We, back when I was more involved in aviation, used to say that the Skymaster, called a Skysmasher by some, was one of the few airplanes that sounded like it was flying formation with itself. Weird prop induced sympathetic resonances off the tail assemblies I think.
