I have been looking at a virpak trawler for a friend of mine. The yacht was built at KIM yachts in asia. Does any one have any information on that yard? Any feedback at all would be helpful. Thanks oceaneer
Is this the boat you mean? It's the only one I can see that has KIM or Trawler in the name? Lee Marine - 2003 Kim Yacht China 68 Custom Motor Yacht - 840000 USD
No thats not the one, that one is really not well designed with standpipes in the middle of the interior, But thanks for finding a bit more of the yards history. Its this one 2004 Kim Yachts Vripack 69 Power Boat For Sale - www.************** Its quite good looking, but who knows how well its built?? It could be all show and no go. Thanks Oceaneer
She certainly looks to be project number 3671 from Vripack. If so, she was built by Kuipers Woudsend B.V. according to the Vripack site. Research Vessel Yacht 69' // Portfolio > searchable projects
similar looks, but most likely different yachts: the OP refers to the KIM China (?) built 21,5m loa with 2 x Cat 3306 on yachtworld the Vripack link is to the Kuipers NL built MY BOLWERK 20,0m loa with 2 x Cummins lobo
Wow! Those may be different boats, but I'd like to take a tape measure to both of them. I'd be willing to bet those came off the same drawings from Vripack.
