Fiberglass Fabrication pricing

[3 Squids]

So I have my T-Top canvas at the upholsterer right now getting a new one made up but I figured I'd also look into hard tops. Talked to a "friend" today who works for a fiberglass company and he told me for a 5x7 canopy with no electronics box or and fancy bells and whistles I am looking at $1400. That seem right? That's $40/sq.ft. I could of swore a few years back getting a quote on a inboard motor cover made for a family members work boat and it was around $16 a foot. That was gelcoated and all. Prices really went up that much in a few years??
