Millbrook Outrage - August 4, 2025

I’ve finally joined the Millbrook club! I just bought a lightly-used Millbrook Outrage – coincidentally from the same guy who owed my old Encore. This is the second boat that I have in both royalex and composite versions - Wildfire/Yellowstone Solo and now the Outrage.

Millbrook Boats is known for lightweight and durable composite whitewater canoes. The company was founded by John Berry in 1959 and initially focused on whitewater slalom racing boats. In 1988, John Berry sold the business to John Kazimierczyk. John has expanded the market for Millbrook with boats like the 20/20 and Shacho that appeal to recreational paddlers as well as racers.

In 1995, Mad River Canoe introduced the Outrage, which was designed by Tom Foster and Jim Henry. Specifications for the Millbrook version are:
  • Length: 12'
  • Gunwale Width: 28"
  • Depth at Center: 15.5"
Interestingly, the royalex version from Mad River is an inch shorter and a quarter inch narrower than the Millbrook composite boat. Both of mine were outfitted by 
John Kazimierczyk.
