A serious backcountry boat that’s easy to hallmark of any good flats boat is that it runs and fishes bigger than its size. That’s especially true of the completely redesigned, vacuum-infused (VARIS) Redfisher 16. With the famous Hewes ride and the range provided by horsepower options from 70 to 115, this boat can cover lots of ground comfortably and safely, even in bigger water. Once the fishing grounds are reached, the wide beam and walk-around gunwales make for an exceptionally stable fishing platform that floats in 11” of water and can be easily poled or fished with a trolling motor. The best part about all this versatility is that the Redfisher 16 can still fit in your garage. And because it’s a Hewes, you know it’s backed by the people who’ve built more flats boats than anyone.
