Wayne,
I'd concur with Ben on this one. Actually, $6800 for a installed 16x32 isn't a bad price at all if it includes pump, liner, installation. 10yrs ago we installed a 18x33 Lomart for just about the same price but that included a 'sunken' plus a 'deep end'! Just a quick recap from current 2011 ABG manufacturers: Hoffinger plant spits out both Doughboy and Lomart, same building manufs. both. I personally find Doughboy's overpriced, just my 2cents. Wilbar, Hoffinger and Trevi (Canada) are really the only 3 manufacturers in N. America of ABGs, with all lines originating from these factories. Wilbar bought many companies such as Delair group who makes Sharkline, Esther Williams Seaspray and Atlantic. It'd be nice to get a quick list of current companies manuf. and what their lines are but they change every season with different names, same pools! Anyway, local is best in my opinion also.
