My single axle 18m Cobra trailer cost ~$17k (at today's exchange rate) two years ago, plus you have to pay to deliver it from the factory to the port, shipping to the USA, insurance en-route, pickup from the port of you are paying somebody to do that, etc. So add another few $k for all that. And I assume Cobra prices have gone up a little since the. Is there a lot of tow-out/rigging gear? maybe another $k for that? Lets call it low $20k for replacement cost. I'm guessing a 15m Cobra trailer well optioned, delivered etc. will be ~$18k? Darryl mmm another thought, I assume the aviation insurers will pick up any state sales tax. I believe it's a state by state thing as to how exactly this is handled (it is for cars). Something to ask next time I renew, and that Costello invoice is lurking in my in-box. Ditto, with Tom, I always thought the trailer insurance with the glider through Costello was a pretty good deal. Darryl |
