I received the following in my inbox less than an hour ago:
My name is Stuart Gonzales. I am the new owner of Mohawk Canoe. Mohawk
will continue to be owned by paddlers for paddlers!! I do have a business
partner who is also an avid boater. Here’s a little information regarding
Mohawk:
I wanted to send you an update on Mohawk Canoes and Availability. Please
check the website as we do have a limited number of Mohawk Canoes in
selected designs currently available.
I also wanted to let you know that Mohawk will be up an running new boats
within the next month, so if you or any of your friends are looking for a
new canoe, please check out Mohawk. Mohawk is now taking orders for our
full-line of Mohawk Canoes!! We are introducing the Mohawk Canoe back to
the public with 2005 prices – that’s right, we are not increasing the price
of your favorite brand!! I hope that this gives some additional incentive
to take a look at Mohawk again!! If you have any further questions, give us
a call at the shop during office hours (M - F, 8A - 4P):
(877) CANOE29 – (877) 226 - 6329 OR address e-mails to
mohawkcanoes@aol.com
Again, thanks for your interest in Mohawk Canoes!
We will be stocking replacement parts if you are in need of them. Contact
us with your needs.
Great news!

I hope the prices stay the same. Right now the Solo 14 is listed at $840, and it used to be $672.

When was it $672?
Seems like the prices are the same as when they ceased production.

price of solos
The solo 14 is priced at $840 factory direct, or so it says, but scroll down and look at the the price table for all canoes: it lists the Solo 14 at $672. To make matters worse, it used to say (before the New Year) Mohawk Solo 14: $672 factory direct, not $840. Go figure.
R84
I think they are making everything in R84 now. Which I think the solo 13 and 14 where R84 before, but the tandem canoes are where mostly Royalex.

Wrong…
Wrong; according to the email I received from Stuart Gonzales at 10:09 this morning…
Quote: Please take a look at the website and see that most boats will be available for delivery very soon!! The only exception to this is there will not be any R-84 available for the first nine-twelve months.
Maybe its just me, but I’m confused regarding exactly what the prices are on each canoe. I see different prices, at different locations on the web site, for the same boat?

I’m also confused
I’ve tried calling a few times to get it cleared up, but no answer.

Today’s email
I got price quotes for and Odysea 15 and a solo 14 They were indeed 2005 prices, not the higher prices you mention here. I did not ask about materials since in the past the solo was made with r84 and the odysea with royalex.
Anyway the prices were very good and I cannot wait to sell my sailboat so I can order one.
I’m a bit confused as well
I’m confused as to the pricing on the Mohawk line. I’m also confused about the availability of not only R-84 but also the fiberglass line. But perhaps Mr. Gonzalez will be able to make the appropriate corrects on the web-site. I’m sure he has his hands full right about now…
I am VERY glad to know of the return of the Mohawk line! I’m particularly pleased that it’s still a privately held company and didn’t fall in the sewer like so many canoe/kayak companies that have been swallowed up by big corporations. Many know which companies I’m talking about and how their quality and customer service has suffered… Mohawk has always been a top-shelf company in my opinion with THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE BUSINESS – bar none. I hope the new owners carry on this great tradition. - Randall
