Approved builders in the USA
Elijah Davis, Boatbuilder located in Rockport, Maine
Painting of a 10-foot Calico skiff
Rudder for a Deblois Street Dory
Geoff Kerr, Two Daughters Boatworks, Vermont

Finished building an ILUR for a kit customer
Old Wharf Dory Company on Cape Cod, Massachussetts
Built a Drake 19 rowboat for a client
All of these guys do a quality of work for which I 100% approve and suggest for those looking to have a boat built professionally. Generally, the preferred process is for the customer to purchase the kit from us (we customize the kit) and you pay the boatbuilder to build it. Included in this arrangement is a small liaison fee which ensures that your boat is built to our specifications and meets your expectations.
