Nope.
DeFever designed and built by Oviatt Marine at the Tania Yards.
In fact Grand Banks sued Oviatt on the name as they said it was confusing the market. So later Grand Alaskans were called simply Alaskans. And the brand has just been bought this year and will be reintroduced as Alaskans.

This little snippet gives Defever credit for designing all of the Grand Banks Alaskans:
