Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 vs Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 and the Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

The Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 is rated for up to 7 people. Passenger data for the Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009 wasn't available.

Bottom line: The Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 at 24,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009 at 18,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.

Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 vs Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 or the Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009?
The Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 is the longer of the two at 24,1 feet overall. The Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009 comes in at 18,0 feet, making it roughly 6,1 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 is rated to a maximum of 225 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009 tops out at 200 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many passengers can the Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 carry?
The Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 has an official capacity rating of 7 people. Capacity data wasn't available for the other model in this comparison — verify directly with the dealer.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 measures 96" wide, compared to 85" for the Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 and Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Hewescraft 220 SR ET HT 2011 and the Hewescraft Sport Jet 2009 are built by Hewescraft. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
