We chose Iversons
We had admired his work on other boats and checked out his design at the Seattle Boat Show a few years ago. We've been very happy with it since it was installed in 2009. We added the side rails and the aft grip rail. And the frame is the optional 1-1/4" tube. We got a good deal from him on a new, matching sail cover, two hatch covers, wheel cover, engine control cover and hatch board shield, using the same dark red color. He adds some little touches like the pockets in each side below the eye-brow windows and a mini-flashlight that is stowed at the aft center. For those dark night returns to the combination lock on your hatch.
He installed it in two visits. The first visit (with the old dodger still attached) we talked about the basic and optional features and made decisions about how far back it would come, how high above the cockpit it would be, allowances for lines coming aft into the cockpit, etc. He and his assistant made a bunch of measurements and we took the old dodger off and took it home. They continued to work after we left and they finished most of the deck work. A few days later they came out and completed the installation. The third visit they made was to install the new sail cover, hatch covers and new fasteners, which we had ordered too late to have finished for the installation visit.
From a design point of view he's locally famous for standing on top of his dodgers, which are very sturdy because he adds vertical supports for the forward bow on either side of the hatch opening. It's a clean and solid installation. If you are happy with your frame, he will re-canvas. He was sort of reluctant, as you can imagine, but he did a nice re-canvas for one of our marina neighbors.
We are happy customers, and not involved in his business. He takes most of his orders for the year at the Seattle Boat Show in January and installs roughly in the order he receives deposits. He seems to try to combine and coordinate based on location to some extent, though, to save time and costs for himself. He did our neighbor's job at the same time he did ours.
He has a website:

He's jazzed that up quite a bit.
