Anyway, the figure quoted to me for the work was $2,500 to $3,000.
Based on nothing but being a consumer of other boating goods I
had guessed $900 to $1500 in my head.

They don't call it a "hole in the water your through money into" for
nothing :-)

It was a joke my friend - only a joke.

Yea, I knew that...sometimes it's hard to put that 'smile' in one's voice
when writing.

I printed off the specifications and as it happens, I'm passing by the
local canvass guy this morning - I'll stop in and have him look at it
for a ball park figure.

Cool. Thanks Tom.

I was pretty close actually- I just got back from his shop.

Without seeing the boat in person, he guesstimated anywhere from
$1,500 to $1,800 plus or minus 10%.

Wow - that seems a little much.

The rule of thumb around my neck of the woods for a custom, good quality
full enclosure on a flybridge is $1000 per side. So, a complete
flybridge enclosure (4 sides and a top) would be 5k. I recall your
requirement not being a full enclosure, but maybe this data point will
help estimate what yours should be.

Ok - just wanted to thank everyone for their input. My gut
and the comments here make me think that $1500 is what
I should be paying. Even if that went to $1800 I'd probably
be ok with it. But $2500 to $3000 seems high.

I agree.
