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!
D. Scott Deal
