What Trawlers are made in the USA/Canada?

Hi folks:
Newbie here. I have been following the threads on this forum for many months with great interest and have learned a tremendous amount. Thanks to all who have contributed so many hours and so much information.
I have just sold my sail boat and am now in the market for a trawler (35 to 40 feet). Since I live in Canada (Nova Scotia) importing a vessel from the States is problematic from a "customs/duty" point of view if the vessel is not manufactured in North America. (Read NAFTA). There are many vessels that I like of Taiwainese origin but they all bear the prerequisite 9% duty if imported. I've heard a few names bandied about in some discussions, but was wondering if we could consolidate a simple list of North American made trawlers. It might serve as a reference point for other "cross-border" shoppers as well. I'll start things rolling with the "Monk" which was made in Nova Scotia.
Thanks in advance.
