It was probably the first such act in TN, when all around us people were in panic relief mode or still talking of what to do. Gandhirajan's boatyard was a deserted scene those days. He had shut down because of accumulated losses. Our order for 2 boats and promise of more, a visit with him to his banker and a private loan from ECCO members to get him started have all paid off. He's a transformed man today, with close to 100 boat orders. He turns away new customers. But for ECCO he remains a loyal builder, who has promised to produce the ECCO series without interruptions.
