Default Cost of ownership

I am sure this has been kicked about before, but times (and prices)
change.

Anyone want to share their experience on the real cost of ownership of
a modern glass ship (aside from purchase price)? I got a ballpark
estimate from Costello Insurance for a $50K glider/trailer that ran
about $1450/year for insurance. What do you spend on maintenance,
inspections, taxes, etc? I am comparing this to a rent/borrow
situation, so the cost of flying (tows, retrieves, hotels, etc.) don't
count, but tie downs and things like that, do.

Thanks for any insights.

Matt (Jr.)
