Looks like the price is going to come in around $300. He was trying to keep it down in the $250 range but the build is much more labor intensive than he planned.
I'll get him to lock in the price the week after next (I'm O3 all of next week).
I just did a quick online search for Curt hitches. It looks like Curt MSRP is $393 but I was able to find list prices in the $200 range (not sure if they are actually available at that price though).
I'll keep you posted.
