Velocity Marine and Fabrication launched two 32' x 16' Bristol Bay to-phouse gillnetters for the 2020 season from its Sedro Wooley, Wash., boatshop. First in the water in late March was the Novarupta with a 750-hp Scania D13 matched up with a Thrustmaster HI500 jet. (The Novarupta is named after the largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century, which occurred on June 6, 1912, and lasted for 60 hours in Alaska's Katmai National Park.)The Point Steele followed the Novarupta with a launching the first week in May. The Point Steele has a pair of 600-hp Cummins QSC8.3 diesels powering Ultrajet 340HTjets through ZF305 gears.
