BUSINESS
HOURS: Monday - Friday. Please do not call before 8:00
AM or after 7:00 PM, New Hampshire time. E-mail, call, or
write if you have any questions. It's usually best to reach me by e-mail.
TERMS:
A deposit of approximately 50% of the total cost of the boat is
due with your order; the remainder to be paid before or upon
delivery. Your boat will not be started until your deposit is
received. Also, your boat will not be shipped until final payment
is received. Prices shown are for standard lay up. Other lay-ups
are available. All prices and policies are subject to change
without notice. There is no guarantee that I can match your color
choice exactly. Also, if I give you an "estimated"
completion date of July 1st, for example, there is no guarantee
that your boat will be ready on July 1st. Things happen. I like
to go paddling too!
MAKE
CHECKS PAYABLE to John Kazimierczyk, or Millbrook
Boats. No other combinations of these words will be accepted.
If I have to return your check because the bank won't cash it,
there will be a delay in starting your boat. There will be a $25.00 service charge for
"bounced" checks.
CUSTOM
BOAT CONSTRUCTION: All boats are built to order. There
is nothing in stock. All boats are laminated from a combination
of S type fiberglass, which is stronger than E type, and Kevlar fabrics using Dow 411 or
equivalent Vinylester resin for superior strength and durability.
I use a pigmented skin layer (first fiberglass layer) for color,
rather than a gel coat, to keep weight down. My standard layup is
listed below but each boat can be customized to meet the needs of
its owner. Prices shown are for standard layup, one solid color
only. Simple graphics are available at an additional cost,
usually $45.
I
now accept payment through Paypal.
No fees to you. Paypal will also convert non U.S. funds into U.S.
funds.

ALSO: Prices shown for open
canoes do not include seats, pedestals, or any other outfitting.
Many people prefer to install their own outfitting. However, if
provided with adequate, accurate measurements, I can install cane seats, or
minicell foam
pedestals, and thigh strap anchor points at extra cost. 1 cane
seat plus installation is $50. 1 minicell pedestal, single set of
thigh straps, foam hip blocks, knee pads, plus installation,
comes to $225. Double straps bring the price to $250. Padded
double straps bring the price to $300.
These prices are for installation in a composite boat. Flotation
bags are also available.
For a complete "gunwale job",
which includes removing all old wood and decks, and installing
new ash gunwales and thwarts, the price is $250.
Canoe maintenance: I recommend applying
an exterior oil to the gunwales at least once a year. A product
such as Watco or Behr's works fine. Don't store your boat in the
direct sun. Also, applying a quality car
wax to the hull once or twice a year will help protect it against UV
damage. A composite boat that is taken care of will last at
least 25 years.
See the Accessories page for info about
other products. You will receive a firm price quote on your
particular boat and any custom work when I acknowledge your
order. Boats can be shipped by truck, usually Roadway Express,
now called YRC, unless you have another preference. I also ship
internationally either by ship or plane. I charge $35 for
packaging materials for domestic shipments on my end. You will
be responsible for the freight charges that I prepay, before I
ship your boat.
Overseas Shipping: If
shipping overseas I must custom build a wooden crate, and will
charge accordingly, $100 for the crate, plus the
associated overseas shipping
charges. You will also have to pay duties and customs when you
pick up your boat. I can get
at least 2 canoes into one crate. I can also ship bare hulls
nested together, 4 maximum in 1 crate. Depending upon how many canoes are ordered, I
can rent a container. This may require a minimum of 12 boats to
make it cost effective. As far as I know, there would be no need
to build crates if I rent a whole container.
Thank you,
John Kazimierczyk
