(SEATTLE) — Kvichak Marine Industries Inc., a Vigor Industrial company, recently delivered the first of three new Bristol Bay boats. This new, top house design all-aluminum 32-by-16-foot jet-propelled gillnetter is a product of the Kvichak design team and is powered by twin Volvo D11 EVEC-E engines rated for 510 bhp coupled to ZF 305-3 marine gears and Hamilton HJ364 waterjets providing a top speed of 35 knots.
