2022 Hewes Redfisher 18

The Redfisher 18 is an 18-foot fiberglass flats boat built for shallow-water fishing and backcountry work. The current generation uses vacuum infusion construction for a lighter, stronger hull. The boat runs on a single gasoline engine and can be powered by either 115 or 150 horsepower.

The design centers on practical fishing functionality. A dedicated anchor locker sits forward, while the console accommodates flush-mounted electronics up to 12 inches. The seating arrangement includes a thoughtful cushion setup. An optional integrated backrest and step built into the poling tower provides support during long poling runs and adds safety to standing and anchoring work.

This 2022 model carries forward the core design that has made the Redfisher 18 a staple among backcountry anglers and guides. The vacuum infusion hull construction focuses on the balance between weight reduction and structural integrity needed for the boat's intended duty.
