2025 Hewes Redfisher 18

The Redfisher 18 is a mid-sized flats skiff built for backcountry work. The 2025 model features a hull constructed using vacuum infusion technology (VARIS), which yields a lighter, faster and stronger structure. The boat carries a single 115 hp Yamaha outboard, paired with an Atlas jackplate and SeaStar hydraulic steering for responsive handling in shallow water. The fiberglass hull is finished in Whisper Grey with a Pure White deck, complemented by matte black powder-coated hardware and black rub rails.

The open layout centers on a Pure White console fitted with a tilt helm, console windshield, grab rail and a flush-mount electronics plate sized for displays up to 12 inches. Below the gunwales sits an under-gunnel rod rack in black. The poling platform includes an integrated folding backrest and step for comfort during long runs. Trim tabs and a recirculating system with dual ports (aft center and aft port) round out the practical setup.

Additional features include a dedicated anchor locker, stainless steel steering wheel, Yamaha CL-5 gauge cluster, and a release well positioned at the aft port corner. The package includes an AmeraTrail trailer with upgraded wheels and a spare tire.
