It was more than I had planned cost wise for the rack. But hauling three boats instead of one 3k miles round trip many many times, it's probably paid for itself. I didn't complain, the fab work was top notch and it is way over built. I do wish I would've made it a few inches shorter. There's a good six inches of clearance from the top of an F18 hull to the bottom of the rack. That few inches would mean being able to get it in through a 10' overhead door.
