Pioneer

The Hewescraft Pioneer offers the right size and smart design details that make it the best choice for anglers seeking the freedom and versatility of an open-boat platform. It bests every boat in its class by combining a beam that is wider than eight feet, and an all-welded lifetime-warranty hull that is .190” thick and 78” wide at the chines. With the largest fuel capacity in its class (45 gal. in the 200 and 65 gal. in the 220) and rated up to 200 or 250 horsepower (on the 200 and 220 respectively), the Pioneer can handle plenty of people and gear effortlessly—and all day long. The Pioneer does all this while still providing the legendary Hewescraft flotation and safety unavailable in its competitors.

An impressive list of features and options completes the Pioneer fishing experience. The Pioneer’s casting-deck bow provides the safety and comfort of a traction-rated diamond treadplate surface and multiple toe-kicks. The generous bow area also provides ample space for today’s larger electric trolling motor mounts, easy-access battery storage (up to three Group 31 batteries), and a convenient rode locker. With in-floor storage (20 gal.), bow livewell (30 gal.), and lockable gunwale-top rod storage, you won’t need to leave anything at the dock. Multiple seating combinations and suspension options provide comfort for any fishing style, and tiller steering or optional center console provide comfort for any driving style. Exclusive lockable sliding-door sounder boxes deliver protection and convenience at the transom. Every inch of the Pioneer has been carefully designed and built to bring open-boat anglers ease-of-use, ruggedness, and unmatched safety.
