2023 Hewescraft 270 Pacific Explorer ET Hardtop

Boat Description

This gently used Hewescraft 270 Pacific Explorer is a rugged, offshore-capable aluminum boat built for serious use in Pacific Northwest conditions. Constructed with a heavy-gauge welded hull, it delivers exceptional durability, stability, and long-term reliability. Powered by twin Yamaha 200HP four-stroke outboards, the boat cruises comfortably in the mid-20 knot range with efficient fuel burn, while still offering strong top-end performance when needed. Its shallow draft and outboard configuration provide excellent versatility, allowing access to areas that deeper inboard vessels simply cannot reach.

Designed with functionality in mind, this 270 has a great cabin layout with “shock” absorbing helm seating along with an upgraded Lawrence Chart Plotter including sonar and fish finding features. Trim tabs for level ride. The boat features a large, self-bailing cockpit ideal for fishing, crabbing, and gear handling, along with a fully enclosed helm that extends your boating season in all weather. The forward cabin offers practical overnight accommodations with a V-berth, electric cooktop, compact sink, and enclosed head. This is a no-nonsense vessel that prioritizes strength, usability, and low operating cost – making it an excellent choice for anglers and coastal cruisers looking for a dependable, high-value platform.
