2026 Hewescraft Evolution 221 EV
A HUGE STEP FORWARD FOR TROPHY AND TOURNAMENT ANGLERSStepping up to Great Lakes, big-water, bad-weather tournament walleye fishing makes an all-welded, deep-v brute like the Hewescraft Evolution more essential than ever. The 22-foot Evolution offers all the usual features needed for a proper multi-species fishing boat (excellent rod and tackle storage, multiple large livewells, convenient casting decks), while also providing the comfort and safety of a Pacific Northwest-style ocean-capable hull that is perfect for big-water trolling. The Hewescraft Evolution covers all the essentials for tackling the tough, late-season fishing in Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, or Lake of the Woods. For an increasing number of serious tournament and destination walleye anglers, the big water and bad weather of The Great Lakes (and other big bodies of water) require something greater. Hewescraft’s newest model combines the rugged toughness and safety of Alaska’s #1 boat with the function and features most valued by the walleye and bass anglers of the Midwest. Massive rod, tackle, and fish storage are paired with the Hewescraft deep-v hull (34° forward and 20° at the running point) and high sides. Flexible pedestal and flip-up transom seating are paired with the spine-saving comfort of adjustable-suspension pilot/co-pilot seats. A spacious bow casting deck is mated to a Hewescraft self-bailing sealed bow floor with a water-tight windshield door. The best traits of tournament fishing functionality have been paired with the reputation, history, and safety of a Hewescraft. The result is a real Evolution in fishing. |

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.
