2023 Hewescraft 270 Alaskan ET Hardtop

This is a 2023 Hewescraft 270 Alaskan ET Hardtop, a 30-foot welded-aluminum offshore cruiser built for serious work in demanding waters. The boat carries twin Mercury 250 four-stroke engines producing 500 horsepower total, configured counter-rotating for smooth, efficient operation. With approximately 120 hours on the engines, the boat remains essentially new. It cruises at 40 knots and reaches 46 knots at full throttle.

The hardtop design incorporates an enclosed, weather-tight cabin that maintains comfort and visibility in variable conditions. The aluminum construction uses heavy-gauge welding throughout, eliminating wood framing and soft transoms. A bow-to-beach ladder, salt and freshwater rigging, and a 3-bank battery charger support extended operation. A 2023 EZ Loader tri-axle trailer rated for 12,000 pounds is included.

Electronics are comprehensive: a Garmin 1243XSV GPS/sonar, Fantom 18 radar, 215 VHF, and 800 AIS transmitter handle navigation and communication. A Garmin Reactor 40 autopilot manages long-distance running. FLIR M232 marine night-vision enables confident operation in low-light conditions. Starlink connectivity is integrated throughout the boat with hardwired connections at the helm and house battery systems, plus a suction-cup backup mount.

The boat has been maintained since new with no corners cut. All systems are operational and ready for immediate use.
