    Not a bad price, it will be interesting to see what others have paid. Shipping was fairly fast. Somebody will give an idea. Where does the one with the Dream Chaser go?

    Well I think 16K is low. Now add all your hours times 100 per hour. Now where are you at??

    Take good care putting it down, that was the most scary part about doing my deck with peel and stick - when it sticks, it's stuck. A few tips:

    a) Layout and put down blue tape on mat and around and draw line up marks when set in place. Don't afraid to tape it down as it moves with a butterfly fart due to the shiny backing paper. The attached shows what I did. (and yes, this was not the final product due to line up issues that were addressed)
    b) If you have the backwash ports like mine, they end up being the main reference points to line up first.
    c) If you have 3 pieces, do the middle first, easier to set that right then adjust the others.
    d) 2 people is a must when laying.
    e) Peel back corner, tear off a piece and stick back in the corner again. Then peel back along edge to other corner by rolling under and tear off and replace in that corner. Then you can grab without being stuck or messing up adhesive.
    f) Hold and start to place down, rolling paper under will allow your buddy to slowly pull the backing as you place down. Slowly does it watching the blue tape and line up marks.
    g) As you get to the last part, tear off corner pieces again to hold onto the last part and stick down. Then peel off the cormers and press down.

    Sounds easy but can be screwed up easy too.

    Hope this helps.

    Not sure about the stuff that you are using but I used SeaDek and with multiple pcs, you have to be VERY careful as it is easy to stretch it a bit. Don't tug and pull on it and don't put too much pressure at first if you are going to use a roller.
