New Brunswick Firm Completes Large Order

Vernon Theriault’s Magna Marine of Baie St. Anne New Brunswick completed a 20-vessel order for the Big Cove New Brunswick First Nations Band this past summer. The same customer also purchased a 25-foot demonstration vessel from the builder to be used as a fisheries patrol vessel. The 45-foot lobster boats constructed under the order have a large 26 by 14-foot open deck aft to accommodate traps and totes for carrying the lobster catch. Main engines are six-cylinder Cummins C-series rated at 350 HP each. The engines turn over square Hall Stavert 30 by 32-inch propellers through ZF IRM301 marine gears with 2.69.1 ratios. Electronics packages were supplied by CMC Electronics and included Raytheon Radar, GPS, plotter, VHF radio and sounders for each boat.
