repair and refit boat rails

We have had several old glass boats in for repair of their wood. This is a picture of one of the glass boats that was left unattended for many, many years. We replaced the wood with mahogany all around. Wood will last for many decades with just a minimal amount of tender loving care. If however you leave boats feeding wild berry plants for 20 odd years natural decay is the result.

We offer all our local clients annual maintence and our out of country clients have the benifit of our experience via email. Our advice is part of the service you get when you buy one of our boats.

bottom paint

The Wherry "Just for Now" is based at Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, Canada. The owner has decided to Dock the boat in salt water. This past spring we brought the boat back to our shop and prepared the hull for bottom paint as well as refinish all surfaces. This is one of the annual services we offer to our clients.

New Additions to Hilmark Boats.

The year 2010 has seen an amazing increase in boat repair and construction. We have completed repairs on six boats. A sunshine row boat, and another 7 foot yacht tender have been completed.



For ten years we have had request by local fishers to copy our 14 ft. Tyee row boat in a fibe glass hull. In due course all of our wood hull boats will have a fibre glass mold constructed. This way we can offer the tried and proven hulls of the traditional boat construction we are known for in both wood or fibreglass construction.



The company contracted to build these boats for us has a total of 87 years experience in fibreglass boat construction.



These boats will be offered at a much reduced price over the all old growth wood version . We currently have four Tyee row boats in stock. All boats are trimmed with mahogany that is finished bright.



Once the paint shop has finished with the boats a picture will be posted.
