The Hewescraft Sportsman - the essential all-welded, family fishing boat. Hewescraft has been the #1-selling Pacific Northwest brand for decades, and the 180 Sportsman is consistently Hewescraft's #1-selling model. The Sportsman's surprising combination of value for money (it's Hewescraft's most affordable model) and fishability in such a compact design makes it essential to countless families looking to get out onto water that a light-gauge, riveted hull just can't handle. Add in the optional removable ski pylon for even more family fun, and the Hewescraft Sportsman has all your boating essentials covered.
Often imitated, but never duplicated, the Sportsman is unmatched in its class and has been our best-selling boat for more than a decade. It's hard to believe that a hull this rugged can have a bow this sleek and outstanding fuel economy to boot-but that's exactly why the Sportsman is so popular. Plus, it's small enough to launch on your own and safe enough for the whole family to enjoy. If you're looking for a great value, or a boat to pass on to your kids, this is where you start.
We've learned that the best way for your family to enjoy the lakes and rivers of the Pacific Northwest is to leave your worries behind. That's exactly why we created the Sportsman. Offering a combination of strength, safety, economy, and ease-of-use that no boat in its class can match, the Sportsman doesn't cut corners. Instead, it delivers the proven strength of our all-welded aluminum construction with a design that's light enough to be quick on the water and very easy to tow. And, with its gunwale flotation system and high sides, the Sportsman is also light on concerns. That's something every family loves.
