Full Description
Florida Native Boat Sales is pleased to present this exceptionally clean 2004 Hewes Redfisher 18, located in Dunedin, Florida.
The Hewes Redfisher 18 is one of the classic Florida flats boat layouts: stable, fishable, family-friendly, and capable of doing more than a narrow technical poling skiff. With its wider beam, walkable gunnels, large casting decks, generous storage, self-bailing cockpit, livewell/release-well setup, and comfortable aft bench seating, this boat is equally at home fishing the flats, bait fishing with family, running shorelines, or making longer inshore/open-bay runs.
This particular boat has a great ownership story. It is reported to be a 2-owner boat, with the current owner having owned it since 2015 after purchasing it from Central Florida Marine. It has been garage kept or stored under its custom full boat cover throughout its life, and it shows. The boat is not being represented as restored, but it is a very clean, honest, carefully kept 2004 Redfisher with desirable power, trailer, electronics, and fishing upgrades.
Power comes from a 2014 Yamaha F150 four-stroke showing 43 hours on the Yamaha gauge, with approximately 250 additional hours to be added, for an estimated 300 actual hours. The Yamaha was seller-reported as having regular service history, with the last regular service completed last year. The engine has notable cosmetic chafe/paint wear on the rear cowling from prior tow-rope contact, but this is cosmetic in nature.
The trailer is a 2014 AmeraTrail custom aluminum trailer built for the Hewes Redfisher 18. It includes a spare tire, newer axle, newer tires/wheels, and presents well overall. Trailer lights have been checked, with a notation for the right side running light & 2 marker lights could use attention. There is no swing or removable tongue.

Condition Notes
This Redfisher presents very well overall for a 2004 and shows clear signs of long-term covered storage and owner care. The decks, cockpit, hatches, storage areas, and hull all present strongly for the boat's age. Broker has walked the decks and did not find soft spots during inspection.
As with any 2004 boat, buyers should expect normal cosmetic age and wear. Noted items include cosmetic chafe/paint wear on the Yamaha cowling from prior tow-rope contact, a small cowling chip/nick, minor gelcoat chips/spider cracks, prior filled hardware holes from previous equipment, localized rub rail wear, and normal staining inside hatch gutters, storage compartments, and bilge/rigging areas.
Known functional items: anchor light is currently inoperative. Right side trailer running light & two trailer marker lights may need attention. Broker has successfully run the engine on a hose, and statically tested equipment on the trailer, and all other tested systems fully operated at time of inspection.
