New model Hewes Redfisher 16?

[geeviam]

More teaser photos of a new Hewes model posted on Instagram.  Could it be a redesigned Redfisher 16?  Nice forward vee entry like the Maverick MA.  Still need to see the bottom running surface and transom though.

Yes, a 16 that looks like a smaller version of the MA 18  😜

You are probably right, but did you read the comments under that instagram post?   If not, take a closer look!   "More coming!"

I read them.  Lots of interest and suggestions.  Looks like new Hewes line will cover the inshore/near-shore market in between the Maverick technical poling skiff line and Pathfinder bay boat/open water line, with the best features of both the Hewes and Maverick Master Angler designs.  I hope there's a new 18' to 19' Hewes (RF/MA) in the works too, that'll be well balanced with a VF150 SHO or VF175 SHO or F200!

Man, a 200 on an 18.5 Hewes/MA redfisher. . . .

I scare myself with the 150.

The Egret 189 is rated for 175 hp, so I guess I could live with that limit, lol.  I have a feeling that all these new Redfisher/MAs are going to be more stable and safe at top speed than we've seen before with previous Redfisher/MA models.
