Hewescraft Marine. Welded Aluminum Boats since 1948

Experience:

Hewescraft has been manufacturing aluminum boats in Colville, Washington for nearly 60 years—longer than any other aluminum boat builder on the West Coast. Our expertise and reputation has proved itself over the years. Through the years Hewescraft boats have often been copied, but never reproduced.

Hull Construction

Every hull has a 100% all-welded structure. Our thick channel supports and box beam construction provide extra structural integrity to ensure that Hewescraft boats will last a lifetime. Our heavy gauge welded aluminum offers 10 times the sheer strength of fiberglass, significantly more durability than riveted hulls.

State-of-the-Art Equipment:

Hewescraft engineering designs are downloaded to our computerized plasma cutter for precision cuts and repeatability in construction

Fishability:

Hewescraft boats are built for serious fishermen with plenty of room for fighting fish, not the rest of the crew. Our high sides, wide gunwales and spacious design allow for pure fishing functionality.

Value:

Hewescraft boats are a great value the day you pull them off the dealer’s lot, and the resale value stays strong 20 years later when fiberglass boats have costly problems and riveted boats need repair work.

Safety:

Each model we make meets or exceeds U.S. Coast Guard floatation requirements. Hewescraft goes the extra step to install recoverable floatation in boats over 20’ even though none is required.

Floatation Tested:

Every Hewescraft hull is water tested in our factory—something many boat manufacturers cannot claim. We take flotation to extremes by physically swamping new models to verify safe floatation. Keeping families safe is our top priority.

Big Water Proven:

Hewescraft fishing boats are the #1 selling heavy gauge aluminum boats in the state of Alaska—a place people take their fishing and boats very seriously. Our boats are built to last a lifetime, which means reliability and higher resale value.

Softtop and Hardtop Options:

Several of our models are available in both softtop and hardtop versions. Softtops provide the nice open feel of a run-about, while hard tops offer protection from the weather during those times when the big fish are often biting, and also a lockable cabin for storing gear while mooring.

Light Weight and Fuel Efficient:

Heavy gauge doesn’t mean heavy on the wallet. Hewescraft boats are easy to tow and store, and are fuel efficient on the water.
