 | I would check with a local carpet store for an installer... They have all the tools, and are used to traveling so they could do it in your garage. |

 | My 690vs was quoted at $3k and up. That was the average from 4 places. I got lucky and my buddy did it for $1k . I bought the carpeting direct from Ranger and the supplies. The total was around $1500. 
 My buddy definitely did a better job than any shop would have done.

 | 700 to 800 to lay carpet in a 17 foot boat doesn't seem that out of the line to me. I know it's a lot of money, but to me your paying for a skilled worker to do a good job. It's not something that gets replaced often. |
