It is insane. i cut guy, one hanger. 2 pump jacks, 2 planks. any one can hang vinyl, its easy. Im not a contractor, but i do alot of siding on the side, i usually charge an hrly rate, and the ppl i do the work for buy the material. Cedar impression siding is where the price will go up into the 20's and 30's, that stuff is a pain in the butt.
