Thank you for the review. Love the stand-up head and kitchenette. Noted, I normally like Hewescraft for the deck entry head, and could use a bigger fridge
@@clearlycoastal2102 My thoughts exactly, good for keeping beverages cold for a day on the lake, but for a weekend on the river with family, need something bigger
Great boat! Thanks for the video! After owning this, do you ever find yourself wishing you had a 30 or 33ft? How long have you stayed consecutively on this boat?
Thank you! I haven’t found myself wanting the bigger ones, this size is great for me! My family spent two weeks on it this last summer. I also like it as I can still tow it with my Tundra. With the 30/33 I would probably have looked at upgrading the truck too
Thank you. I’ve had it in a bunch of rough water. The biggest was probably 10-12 ft and pretty close together. Was able to still be doing about 15kts nicely
I believe you had a Kingfisher before this new Hewescraft is there a reason you'd like to share with us why you made the switch? Do you prefer one boat over the other?
Hi. I had a ranger tug r-23 before this boat. I made the change as I wanted something bigger, twin engine and better range. The Hewescraft delivered those for me. The fishing deck is huge, the fuel tank is 190 gallons and with twin engines offers a bit more security!
@@clearlycoastal2102 That's too bad, I think that boat would be perfect with a shower. How do you find traveling around with no shower inside the boat? Lots of places to shower around the inlets?
@@clearlycoastal2102 cool ya once you break down with no explanation a person loses there trust and thinks what if that happened at zayas island or way offshore
i sure hopes this boat has locking gas caps "its kinda suspicious fresh filters and fuel system is overwhemeld" like someone MAY have topped it off with water acorse to smart to sabatoge therefore you bennifit lots of wierd jelious ppl out there
How does the ride & stability, comfort compare between your old Ranger tug and the Hewescraft? Considering fibreglass vs aluminum boats in 25' range for coastal adventures, weekending and fishing. Thx.
The Hewescraft is more stable than the ranger tug, but the tug was still a very stable boat. The ranger tug had a more fancy interior but the hewes is still a very well laid out interior with more storage.
@@travishuisman1817at first my wife wasn’t so sure about the hewes as she really liked the ranger. But after a short bit she really liked how stable it is in the water and also the full size bathroom she really likes
One of my favorite channels of all time.
Wow thank you so much
That’s it BC inside passage bucket list. Nice boat
It’s such a beautiful part of the world! Thank you it’s a great boat!

You’re welcome. I agree it would be nicer if the fridge was a bit bigger. We definitely use a cooler as well when out for more than a few days.

Appreciate you answering questions. Good knowledge shared thamks
You’re welcome and thank you!
Nice, looking forward to the inside passage adventure. Love the shot at 9 minutes, would have been a great hook at the intro.
That series starts November 5th! Yeah that would have made a good hook forsure! It was one of my favourite spots down south!
Beautiful boat! What’s the roughest kind of seas you been with the boat? How comfortable was she in rough seas and what speed were you going?

Is the head a shower as well?
There’s no shower

@@clearlycoastal2102 I'm so surprised that so many aluminum boats don't have showers but fiberglass ones do. I would think it would be opposite.
@ I find it not too bad without the shower. A lot of docks have showers you can use
wow nice boat is that 1 that the 1 that had water in fuel problem ?
Thank you! No I traded that one in for this one

What would you wife say about the differences? My wife loves rangers but I’m drawn to more utility.

Stability does make a big difference. Thanks for the reply!
@@travishuisman1817 it really does! Any other questions feel free to ask!
Wow,,fuel,prices alone are $100.00hr your trip to,Vancouver island must have cost a fortune.
It cost a fair bit bit was worth it!
Be so cool if they could lost half that aft deck for a larger cabin.
I like the aft deck for fishing space
