Yes, Hewes boats are among the most respected flats and backcountry boats you can buy. For more than 60 years the Hewes name has stood for shallow-water fishing skiffs, and today's Hewes boats are built by Maverick Boat Group with modern resin-infused fiberglass. Anglers and fishing guides praise Hewes models like the Redfisher for their dry, stable ride, very shallow draft, and tough build. If you fish skinny water for redfish, snook, or trout, a Hewes is built for exactly that job. Hewes is a premium flats boat brand, so it costs more than entry-level skiffs, but owners tend to keep them for years.
