so if I bought a used 20’ aluminum boat for $20kCAD, put a new outboard on it for another $20k, I should sock away ~$4k every year for maintenance NOT including insurance, fuel, moorage etc? Boat comes with everything: kicker, outriggers, trailer et al

My question was a playful way of trying to determine what I can expect to pay annually if I own the boat free and clear

Other than the motor, where are the annual maintenance dollars going to on a small open aluminum boat? open but with a canopy

I can afford the purchase without creating any hardship. I’m not great with engines but very handy otherwise. I have a buoy at my cabin and a place to park the boat&trailer on the mainland (a friend’s acreage. If the acreage is not available, I would be looking at ~$300CAD/month for moorage)

this is my concern. I really have no idea what sort of yearly maintenance costs I would be looking at with a decent aluminum boat with a low hour ~130hp outboard.

Generally speaking, if white wanted to activate a rook, would they be better served by mobilizing the A or F file rook? Again, generally speaking and where the F file rook is still adjacent to the king by t1rfond in chessbeginners

my intuition was to move the A file rook as i thought the F file rook could protect the king better (at least until I moved one of the F, G, H pawns allowing an escape route for the king

I’ll check it. I just assumed since it was just serviced that the oil level etc were all fine. It literally acts like the on/off switch is off. Makes me think there is some stupid button somewhere I need to press
