Sportsman 180
Sportsman 180
The 180 Sportsman has been Hewescraft’s best-selling model for decades because of its surprising roominess and fishability in such a compact, affordable package. With nearly 11 feet of fishing cockpit behind the driver and co-pilot seats, short or long bench seating can be added without getting in the way of the family fun. And, with the optional ski pylon, you can quickly and easily shift gears from trolling to towing. When it’s time for a compact fishing and family runabout, there’s value—and then there’s Hewescraft Sportsman value.
Often imitated, but never duplicated, the Sportsman is unmatched in its class and has been our best-selling boat for more than a decade. It’s hard to believe that a hull this rugged can have a bow this sleek and outstanding fuel economy to boot—but that’s exactly why the Sportsman is so popular. Plus, it’s small enough to launch on your own and safe enough for the whole family to enjoy. If you’re looking for a great value, or a boat to pass on to your kids, this is where you start.
We’ve learned that the best way for your family to enjoy the lakes and rivers of Alaska is to leave your worries behind. That’s exactly why we created the Sportsman. Offering a combination of strength, safety, economy, and ease-of-use that no boat in its class can match, the Sportsman doesn’t cut corners. Instead, it delivers the proven strength of our all-welded aluminum construction with a design that’s light enough to be quick on the water and very easy to tow. And, with its gunwale flotation system and high sides, the Sportsman is also light on concerns. That’s something every family loves.
