THIS IS HOW YOU TOP VERSATILITYSome days it is essential to get out on the water, rain or shine. Add a comfortable all-welded, hard-top cabin enclosure to the roomy interior of the Hewescraft ProV, and you can take on fishing and family adventures no matter if the sun or the rain is beating down. Get in out of the weather under the forward-justified cabin without giving up the huge fishing deck and easy functionality synonymous with the ProV. When the protection of a hard-top cabin is what your excursions demand, but you still need the compact versatility of a roomy, 18’- or 20’-foot boat, the Hewescraft ProV hard top expertly covers those essentials. For essential rain or shade coverage when you’re out in all weathers, the ProV Hard Top features Hewescraft’s least expensive and most compact hard-side enclosure. It may be hard to believe that an 18’-20’ boat with a full-coverage hard top could be priced comparably to the traditionally popular riveted light-gauge soft-top (or no-top!) aluminum fishing boats, but the ProV Hard Top does it with features and toughness to spare. The ProV Hard Top’s also provides a real solid-top fishing platform that you can handle on your own. Solid cabins are typical above 22’, but the ProV Hard Top gives you the same coverage without the hard-to-handle length. This rugged multi-water boat has all the fishing cockpit space of the canvas-top ProV’s cabin-forward design with addition of a lifetime welded top. Massive full-view windshields, sliding windows port and starboard, and a rear drop curtain redesigned with larger clear panels provide outstanding sightlines. The ProV Hard Top’s 48-gallon fuel tank is the largest in its class so you can go farther and stay out longer. And, of course, The ProV Hard Top model still features the chop-cutting 30° deadrise bow entry and extremely stable 14° constant deadrise hull. The ProV Hard Top removes just about every obstacle to getting out on the water with genuine ease and staying out on the water in real comfort. |

Buying a boat is a big investment, and you should feel confident in your decision. Even if you feel ready for the financial commitment of boat ownership, you might still be wondering: is it really worth it? The answer is up to you, but of course, we here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service are big proponents of the marine lifestyle! If you need a little convincing, you came to the right place. Read on to discover the many benefits of having your own boat!
Boating is a great way to create unforgettable memories with family and friends. Everything is more exciting when you are out on the water! Even a casual day of cruising around the lake or lounging on the deck of your boat can be a wonderful bonding experience. You can also teach your children to fish, seek out remote destinations for swimming and snorkeling, or even stretch out under the stars and look for constellations and meteors. When you have your own boat, each summer day is an opportunity for marine adventure!
There is plenty of evidence to suggest that spending time in nature is one of the best ways to relieve stress. With a boat of your own, you can get away from the hustle and bustle whenever you feel like it, and enjoy some peace and quiet out on the water. Your boat is the perfect place to escape from everyday life and give yourself some much-needed time to recharge and reflect. There is comfort in solitude, and nothing feels more solitary than being alone on your boat!
Owning a boat gives you access to a whole new world of experiences, and that includes meeting new people! As you spend time at marinas and boat ramps, you will have the opportunity to meet other boaters. You can also seek out boat clubs in your area, and get involved in the local boating and fishing community. This is a great way to make new friends who share your enthusiasm for boating!
