2024 Hewescraft Prov Hard Top 180 PV ET HT

2024 Hewescraft Prov Hard Top 180 PV ET HT

This top comfortably shelters four to six passengers when the weather and waves get serious. Combined with a full-height, wrap-around gunwale that comes standard with the optional extended transom, the ProV Hard Top will keep you and your passengers in while keeping the water out.

For essential rain or shade coverage when you’re out in all weathers, the ProV Hard Top features Hewescraft’s least expensive and most compact hard-side enclosure. It may be hard to believe that an 18’-20’ boat with a full-coverage hard top could be priced comparably to the traditionally popular riveted light-gauge soft-top (or no-top!) aluminum fishing boats, but the ProV Hard Top does it with features and toughness to spare.

This rugged multi-water boat has all the fishing cockpit space of the canvas-top ProV’s cabin-forward design with addition of a lifetime welded top. Massive full-view windshields, sliding windows port and starboard, and a rear drop curtain redesigned with larger clear panels provide outstanding sightlines. The ProV Hard Top’s 48-gallon fuel tank is the largest in its class so you can go farther and stay out longer. And, of course, The ProV Hard Top model still features the chop-cutting 30° deadrise bow entry and extremely stable 14° constant deadrise hull. The ProV Hard Top removes just about every obstacle to getting out on the water with genuine ease and staying out on the water in real comfort.
