2026 Hewescraft Alaskan 270 AK ET HT
THROUGH WIND AND WAVES, BRING THE BIG CATCH HOMEYour, and your family’s, safety on the water is the boating essential. Trust your safety to the same boat that charter captains and professional outdoor guides trust to bring their customers through tough water and back again — the Hewescraft Alaskan. The Alaskan is filled with all the essentials for rugged, comfortable, and safe trips through tough seas. This boat features an 8’-wide, ¼-inch-thick hull bottom, a massive 190-gallon fuel tank, a fully self-bailing fishing cockpit, private head closet, and much more. Every essential to safe and secure boating, for a fishing family or a professional, is featured aboard the Hewescraft Alaskan. Hewescraft continues to be the #1-selling brand in Alaska, and we take great pride in naming this boat after the 49th state. To explore all the Pacific Northwest has to offer, the Alaskan has a self-bailing deck, wider beam, larger fuel tank, deeper hull, and a stronger transom. Halibut, salmon, or tuna. Charter, commercial, or recreational. You take care of the fishing—the Alaskan will take care of you. Alaskans are tough and unafraid to battle the elements. Boasting an intimidating 8-foot hull width, 30-inch inside depth, and a 42-degree bow entry, you won’t have to stay at the dock when you need to fill your freezer. The Alaskan combines inside and outside comfort with a hull rated for 500 horsepower, and more than 140 gallons of fish storage. Everything has been designed to bring you off shore, so you can fish big water, whenever you choose, wherever you live. Weather rolling in? Not a concern for the Alaskan. The all-welded hull lets you slice through the waves so you can limit out, and the optional sleeper seats, galley, dinette table, and full standup head closet allow you to anchor up comfortably in a secluded bay. With a roomier cabin, larger fishing deck, and increased stability, the Alaskan inspires you to Be Your Own Guide. |

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.
