HONDAM Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I dont know how many of you are familiar with HewesCraft but it is our main boat line here at Calumet Marine. HewesCraft is an all welded heavy gauge aluminum boat. But thick aluminum does not mean heavy boat with the 20 ft boat with a 8ft beam listed below only having a 1800# dry weight. It pushes the limits of what can possibly be done with an aluminum boat in terms or effieciency, strength, and smooth ride capabiliy. This boat is one we rigged out as a show piece 2 year ago. We up a fuil Traxtech track system with all the rod holders, Vector downriggers, Garmin TR-1 Gold autopilot, raw water washdown, battery management system, Honda 150 and 8hp high trust kicker, great sounding stereo, VHF radio, Fish Hawk downrigger probe, and tandem axel aluminum I beam trailer. Some of the pictures are before and after shots but it turned out to be one nice rig.
