Overview
About this vessel
The 2026 Hewes Redfisher 16 continues the legacy of the 'Cadillac of flats boats,' redesigned with cutting-edge VARIS (Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion System) technology. This compact powerhouse is engineered to 'fish bigger' than its size, offering the famous Hewes ride that tames a chop while maintaining the stealth needed for the skinniest water. Whether you’re stalking tailing reds in the backcountry or crossing open water to reach your favorite hole, the Redfisher 16 is built to get you there safely and comfortably.
Don't let the 16-foot length fool you. With a 15-degree deadrise and a wide 7' 3" beam, this boat offers incredible stability whether you are standing on the poling platform or walking the gunwales. A true 11-inch draft allows you to navigate the shallowest flats where the big fish hide. Powered by a 90 HP Yamaha V MAX SHO, providing a lightning-fast hole shot and impressive top-end speeds. One of the most versatile aspects of the Redfisher 16 is its ability to fit in a standard garage, making maintenance and storage effortless.
