2026 Hewes Redfisher 18 for Sale

The 2026 Hewes Redfisher 18 is an 18-foot shallow-water skiff built with vacuum infusion (VARIS) construction for a lighter, faster, and stronger hull. It runs a single Yamaha VF150LB outboard with mechanical controls and CL5 gauge. Steering is handled by Sea Star hydraulic helm with a GEM stainless steel wheel and trim tabs. A starboard Power Pole provides shallow-water holding, while a 40-inch jackplate tower with integrated backrest and step aids poling and sight-fishing.

The boat features a Haze Grey hull with Pure White deck, white caulking, and matte-black powder-coated accents. Two-tone grey cushions and grey and black faux teak under-gunnel decking complete the interior styling. The console accommodates flush-mounted electronics up to 12 inches and includes rod racks, grab rail, and multiple storage options. A dedicated anchor locker is included.

Fishing capability is substantial. Under-gunnel rod storage and rod tubes protect gear, while compass, cockpit lights with blue LED, and livewell lighting support operational and angling needs. The 23.5-gallon aft-center livewell includes recirculation options, and a self-bailing cockpit aids water management. The boat carries fused switch panel with waterproof switches, navigation lights in LED, battery switch, and 12-volt accessory jack. A cooler mounted forward of the console completes the practical layout.
