2026 Hewescraft Pacific Cruiser 240 PC ET
GRAB LIFE BY THE GILLS AND USE THIS BOAT TO DO ITA go-anywhere, sleeper v-berth and galley-equipped compact fish/cruise boat that comes in under 27 feet and is still easy to trailer might seem impossible to most, but to Hewescraft — it’s essential. The ocean-proven Hewescraft Pacific Cruiser keeps every option open. Head out from your home marina, and plan for several days on the water. Fish until the sun gets low, then anchor your Pacific Cruiser in a peaceful bay or pull up onto a gravel beach and stretch out in the largest v-berth available in its class. The Hewescraft Pacific Cruiser is the perfect solution when extended time on the water is at the top of your list of boating essentials. Land your catch and eat it too on this fully-loaded fishing machine. Since it’s a Hewescraft, you know it’s built with high sides, a stable ride, and plenty of extras for anglers. The roomy deck and 40-gallon fish box certainly aren’t there for sunbathers. And then there’s the cabin. Pacific Cruiser provides your family with a place to relax in the v-berth, an optional dinette that converts to an extra bed, and a heater/stove option for cooking up the day’s catch. When a day at sea just isn’t enough, this is the solution. Our Pacific Cruiser takes the premium fishability of our mid-size boats and tops it off with awesome amenities. A fully-enclosed sleeping space in the v-berth comes standard with plush foam padding to ensure a good night’s rest. Plus, we offer dining and cooking spaces, so you can take the family on extended fishing trips without worrying about cold meals or where you’ll sit to play cards. |

Buyer’s Guide to Boats and Pontoons
When you think about it, buying a boat is a little bit like getting married. After all, this is the commitment of a lifetime, and you want to feel confident you’re making the right decision! Fortunately, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and plenty of boats and pontoons to choose from here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service. The following tips can help you narrow down the options and find your perfect match!
Choosing a Boat
What kinds of activities are you interested in? This should be your guiding question when choosing a boat. If catching fish is on the agenda, you should seek out a fishing boat, with features such as rod holders and livewells. If you want to pursue the excitement of watersports, you should look for a boat with a powerful engine that can reach high speeds. Meanwhile, if you are looking to host parties on the water, a spacious luxury boat will serve you best.
That being said, there’s no need to limit yourself. There are some boats that can cover all your bases! Pontoon boats, for example, are incredibly versatile. We are passionate about pontoon boats here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service, and we recommend them to our customers who want to get a little bit of everything out of their boating experience.
Budgeting for a Boat
Of course, you can’t talk about buying a boat without discussing all the costs involved! The upfront cost of purchasing a boat can be pretty steep, but the long-term costs are even more important to consider. When budgeting for a boat, remember to account for all the expenses that are going to add up over time – such as fuel, maintenance, and insurance.
Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to set aside at least 10% of your boat’s total value each year for routine maintenance, and another 5% for any unexpected repairs. Meanwhile, you can expect to pay about 1.5% of the total value of your boat annually for insurance coverage.
If you have any questions about the boat buying process, you are always welcome to consult the sales team here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service! We are always happy to assist. You can find us in Chatham, ON, near London.
