Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 vs Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 and the Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 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 300 hp, the Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 has a 297-hp advantage over the Hewescraft Alaskan 2009's 3-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 and its 300-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 with its 3-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 vs Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 or the Hewescraft Alaskan 2010?
The Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 is the longer of the two at 24,0 feet overall. The Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 comes in at 22,0 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 is rated to a maximum of 300 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 tops out at 3 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 Alaskan 2010 carry?
The Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 has an official capacity rating of 12 people. Capacity data wasn't available for the other model in this comparison — verify directly with the dealer.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 and Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 share an 102 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Are the Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 and Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Hewescraft Alaskan 2009 and the Hewescraft Alaskan 2010 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.
