Research 2012 - Hewescraft - 240 Pacific Explorer RLC

~More of Everything.
After careful planning and design, as well as constant prodding from the families and fishermen who’ve wanted one for years, we've recently added a self-bailing model to our already impressive lineup. The Pacific Explorer tames ocean waters with an eight-foot-wide hull and a self-drain cockpit floor. Two massive, diaphragm-pumped, in-floor fish boxes, and the optional walkthrough transom door complete this ultimate excursion vessel. More room, more stability, more safety, more storage—you get more of everything when you choose the Pacific Explorer.
