If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Think you could make the case for it being a floor plan copy of many trawlers of this size including an NP, a Cherubini Independence, a Hans Christian Independence, a Mariner, a Helmsman, a Krogen 42, and on and on.

It could well come from the same moulds and the same factory. Not uncommon in different markets.

Oh really? I didn't know it worked like that. Sure looks that way. Some of the gear is different but the layout and, hull and exterior is exactly the same.
 
Jklotz,
I checked with Trevor Brice, owner of North Pacific. He said it was built on a royalty program using their moulds. They have since stopped that and set up a dealer in NZ, Orakei Marine.
