EgebergBoats started building skiffs six years ago, after the retirement of Johnny Beall, a neighbor in Severna Park, their home town, who had built about 10,000 work skiffs over a 40-year career. His departure left a void. "I grew up in a Beall skiff," said Egeberg. "Didn't everyone?"
Beall showed the basics to Tom Egeberg, who was in a slow time in the house-building business. Tom quickly set up shop. In the years since, the brothers have done well enough to buy up what Egeberg calls "the last piece of commercial waterfront real estate in America" -- four acres on Kent Island -- and move the shop there.
