Annual Maintenance / Repair Cost

[Dave Mayo]

Thanks for all the input. This really helps in getting a realistic
view of annual expenses. My sense is that it is realsonalbe for one
to expect to expend between $4,000 and $6,000 per year for total
repair costs assuming the engine doesn;t go.

Helps to make an informed decision.
