O w n e r ’ s M a n u a l
Dear New Boat Owner,
Welcome to the Hewes Family!
Thank you for choosing a Hewes boat to transport you to
your angling dreams. We believe the Hewes 16 Redfisher is the
best backcountry boat on the market, and we’re sure that you’ll
be completely satisfied with the unmatched performance, quality
and fishability of your new boat.
We value your input, not just at the time of the sale, but
throughout the entire boat ownership period, and we’ve taken
steps to allow you to share that information. Over the next year or
so, you will receive at least two questionnaires to fill out and
return.
Be sure to visit our website www.hewes.com
to find
information on company events like our Owner’s Tournaments
and Corporate Calendar. You’ll find a wealth of information on our
Forum, where you can ask questions, get answers and join other
Hewes owners to discuss all applications of your boat. We’re
proud to have you as a member of the Hewes family!
Tight lines and screaming drags!
