2023 Hewescraft Pro V 180 PV ET

Today’s fishing families are looking for a boat that will bring them safely home from diverse on-the-water adventures. The Hewescraft ProV’s extended transom is the widest in its class, keeping everyone on board safe inside a full-height transom in the roomiest fishing cockpit available in its class.

Any boat can claim to be a safe, multi-water boat. The ProV is not just any boat—its combination of extended transom, full-surround gunwale, and deep-v hull makes it a super-safe, multi-tool boat.

You know what you’re up against. Whether its a windy day on the lake, a rough morning on the river, or a calm afternoon on the coast, the Pro V is the boat to beat. It rewrites the rules for versatility (and blows the competition out of the water) by taking design cues from our most popular fresh and saltwater models. We start with our popular Sportsman silhouette, then we widen the hull, deepen the V, and shore up the stern with an optional full-width, extended transom made popular on our big-water Sea Runner and Ocean Pro models.

We took our best-selling Sportsman model and gave it more: more fishing space than other boats in its class, more stability to ensure your crew’s safety, more fuel capacity to keep you going, and more hull strength for days when Mother Nature gets mean. Plus, it features a long-awaited extended transom option to keep the gunnels high, and the engine out of the fishing cockpit area and out of your way. But that’s not all. Our fully-welded extended transom is longer and twice as wide as our competitors’, so you get more lateral stability, a longer-running surface, and better planing. At this point, we don’t have competitors—we have a whole new class of boat.
