2026 Hewescraft Sportsman 180 SM
WE'VE HANDLED THE SAFETY. YOU HANDLE THE FUN.The Hewescraft Sportsman — the essential all-welded, family fishing boat. Hewescraft has been the #1-selling Pacific Northwest brand for decades, and the 180 Sportsman is consistently Hewescraft’s #1-selling model. The Sportsman’s surprising combination of value for money 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 the Pacific Northwest 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. |

The Benefits of Having Your Own Boat
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!
Making Memories
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!
Reducing Stress
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!
Meeting New People
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!
