2019 Hewes Redfisher 18 Boat Review
This review has a been a long time coming as I promised you a review two years ago. Sorry about the delay! This is a review of my 2019 Hewes Redfisher 18 that I purchased new in January of 2019. It's a fantastic flats boat that surprisingly, does much more than fish. I hope you enjoy the video and please let me know if you have any questions that I didn't answer.

Thanks Garry! Great boat!
I have a 2020 RF18 set up basically the same as yours and i love mine... As you said the ride is great and that 115 pushes it nicely
This was a trend setting boat. Totally awesome.

Super Awesome!
Looks like a nice clean boat. Your son should be gracious to have access to this for fishing on the intracoastal, etc.
Nice video. Im thinking about getting one

Such an awesome boat.
You own my two favorite models of boats...Whaler and the Hewes. I have an 11 ft Whaler, but I don't own a Hewes, yet. I have a 28 ft Wellcraft, because my wife and I like to go on overnight trips around the Chesapeake Bay. I'll get a Hewes when I retire on the flats in the Panhandle.

Yes, they are awesome boats. Btw, is the "CG" in your "CG Max" name referring to the Coast Guard?

For a family of 5 I'd probably get a Pathfinder but if I was firm on a flat's boat (Hewes) I'd probably go bigger. that being said, the seating is still about the same. Just more room on the 21.
be me and my kids dream come true for something like this what a gorgeous boat we had a john boat all setup for the backwaters and saved up for a mercury tiller and some ass stole the boat not long ago broke my kids heart man I always loved these boats jus so expensive someone like me can't ever afford this love your videos bud

Sorry about your stolen boat but I'll bet you can find a used Jon boat again for a good price (just not yet because all used boat prices are crazy right now).

@@tntcichlids8015 I think it would be way higher than a used Jon boat. Personally, I love the classic Boston Whaler Sport 15 (1980-1994). They make incredible shallow water boats and hold their value better than just about any boat (Hewes holds their value great too). The thing that makes the classic sport 15 so great is they are simple, unsinkable and stable. Also, they are very light weight and don't require much water to float. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h6OVxKqEk5adYNI.html

It probably flies too!
How is the boat in inlets? Also would it be good for a younger boy, I have a baby on the way, and I need to convince the wife. Would it be okay in deeper water fluke jigging ?

It's great for a skiff/flats boat but flats boats and skiffs shouldn't regularly run inlets unless glassy calm. Based upon your requirements I'd recommend another boat for going offshore for fluke and running inlets. Are you in Jersey? I used to fish for fluke up there.
