I have dealt with Bob Eeg on several occasions in the last few years, and have been impressed with his enthusiasitic attitude toward the boats he makes. I screwed up my rudder at the start of a 2 week vacation in Ventura, and went to Bob for a new rudder. When I called him, he said to bring my old rudder to him and he would see what he could do. When I showed up, he took one of his guys working on a new M-17 and had him take the fittings off of my old rudder and fit them to the new one, gave me a new tiller, and charged me $100 for the whole thing! I judge Bob by how he has treated me, and I would have no qualms in purchasing a M-23 from him. (assuming of course I decide on the M-23 vs a Norsea 27) Tom Woodworth M-17 "Wild Hare"
