When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Hewescraft Open Fisherman 2009 and the Hewescraft Sportsman 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 Hewescraft Sportsman 2010 tops out at 90 hp. Engine specs for the Hewescraft Open Fisherman 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
Bottom line: The Hewescraft Sportsman 2010 at 16,4 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list.
