17K$ to 25K$? That's damn cheap.

We operate a double seater glider as a trainer at our airfield which is 30 years old (AsK 13) and even that thing would still cost 16 - 18.000 € to acquire.

a couple of main things from the vantage point of the insurance company:

Cessna 150:

2 seats - This means that potentially only two individuals will be injured, maimed or killed if the aircraft is involved in an accident.

Hull Value - $24,000 (approx) This means that if the aircraft is invovled in an accident, and the result is that the aircraft is a total loss... the insurance company will write a check for $25K

Cessna 172

4 seats - This means that potentially there will be four individuals injured, maimed or killed if the aircraft is involved in the accident.

Hull value - $60,000+ (approx) This means that if the aircraft is invovled in an accident, and the result is that the aircraft is a total loss... the insurance company will write a check for $65K or perhaps more.

My annual premium on the Cessna 150 is about $3,100

this covers any human being to act as the pilot of the aircraft even if they have ZERO hours experience. This also covers me for up to $1,000,000 liability insurance.

Annual insurance premium for a Cessna 172 for the exact same coverage was in the neighborhood of $7,000
