Since 1948, Hewes has defined the technical flats skiff. Today’s Redfisher line, built by Maverick Boat Group in Fort Pierce, is the poling platform serious shallow-water anglers measure everything against.
Hewes invented the modern flats boat and never left the niche. The Redfisher hulls pole quiet, float skinny and run dry, with VARIS vacuum-infused construction from the same Fort Pierce factory that builds Maverick and Pathfinder. This is a specialist tool built by specialists.
Scarcity shapes the market: only a few dozen Hewes trade nationally at a time, so clean Redfishers sell fast and hold value stubbornly. For a guide or a committed shallow-water angler, few investments on the water stay this solid.
Each series page compares its models side by side, with live market pricing, buyer fit and a payment estimate on every boat.
The Redfisher 16 is the purist’s skiff: lightest draft, quietest pole, perfect for technical tailing fish. The 18 is the do-everything flats standard with range and crew space. The 21 brings bay-boat capability while keeping the flats DNA.
Engine choice defines these boats: modern four-strokes transformed range and resale, so late repowers on older hulls are the quiet bargains of this market.
Float Finance lends on new inventory, dealer stock and private-party used Hewes boats alike. Live market pricing on every page keeps the negotiation honest, and the payment estimate keeps the budget in view from the first click.
The guide is not a brochure. Every page is wired to the purchase itself.
Every model page carries the current asking range for that exact boat, updated from the market, not a brochure.
A calculator on every page turns the asking price into a monthly number before the dealer conversation starts.
Qualifying purchases financed through Float include warranty protection at no added cost.
Purpose. These are poling skiffs first: draft measured in inches, hull slap engineered out, decks laid out for sight fishing. A bay boat does more things; a Hewes does the flats thing better.
Current spans run $57,000 to $84,000 for the 16, $49,000 to $92,000 for the 18, and $70,000 to $103,000 for the 21, with new boats at the top of each band.
The 18 for most anglers: it handles two or three aboard, crosses chop the 16 avoids and keeps draft shallow enough for all but the skinniest water.
Owners keep them, and Maverick Boat Group builds to demand rather than volume. That scarcity is exactly why values hold and financing stays straightforward.
Yes. Values at this level are well documented, terms mirror comparable center consoles and Float Finance writes skiff loans regularly for guides and private anglers alike.
Transom and stringer integrity, trailer condition and repower history. These hulls are robust; the diligence is in the details that affect poling performance.
Three series, one buying decision at a time. Choose the family, compare its models, and finance the one that fits.
