2024 Hewescraft Evolution 221 EV

Walleye anglers have asked us for years to bring the heavy-gauge safety and ruggedness of Hewescraft to their inland waters. They no longer want the same old, light-gauge, flat-bottom boat that limits where they can chase tournament-winning fish. Any boat can take you out on small lakes and into tournaments. Hewescraft’s brand new Evolution is not just any boat—it’s built to bring you home safely from Lake Erie or Lake of the Woods like we’ve been doing in Alaska for decades.

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.
