How much were you figuring the cost would be prior to their quote? Sometimes, we get an "expectation" number in our heads, then when the real price is given, IT'S STICKER SHOCK! - Priced a new car lately - that will help put things into perspective. I don't think they were too far off, considering you have to have them demo, excavate, rebar, plumb and then gunite the entire pond including what is already existing. This can sometimes be quite a bit more than having a bare piece of dirt to come in and work with. You mentioned too that this was just the shell, no coping or filtration. I would think $45-50k would be more in line.
