Heres where that lower Alumacraft cost comes back to bite you.

Hewescraft vs lund. The Lund has a few more standard interior features and was developed from the needs of midwest and Canadian boatersresortersguides. More fishing space than other boats in its class more stability to ensure your crews safety more fuel capacity to keep you going and more hull strength for days when Mother Nature gets mean. Of course the HC now call Kingfisher is BC built which is a big plus.

Every Hewescraft hull is made from quality 5086 and 5052 aluminum alloysmaterials with ten times the shear strength of fiberglass. It may be a unfair comparison between a pro-v and a trophy but in my opinion lund seemed much more solid and handled better in big waves. Boat Trader currently has 90 Hewescraft boats for sale including 87 new vessels and 3.

The Hewes especially with a Jet on it is a great guide-type boat for Salmon steelhead Sturgeon type trips. Welded aluminum Hewescraft boats are typically one-third lighter. I have owned 2 pro-vs and have fished in several different lund models and friend has a trophy alumacraft I have fished out of many times.

Big water means big fish and frequently wind and waves to match. Heavy-gauge aluminum doesnt mean a heavy boat. You think they are high now.

Neither boat is a dry ride in windy. Spend any time in the pounding surf and swirling weather and youll quickly appreciate the stability and dry ride provided by heavy-gauge all-welded Hewescraft boats. You can get a 20 foot Lund Sport Angler trolling platform with a Honda 150 and trailer for under 40k.
