David V Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hello, new to the forum and new owner of a 2013 Hewes Redfisher 18. The first owner did not have a seat back put on the boat, just the snap on seat. Am interested in putting in a back rest. Spoke to Hewes and they basically said would have to have it fabricated. Found this one on line https://marineproducts.net/products/folding-backrest-horizontal-surface-mount.html#product-tab-description but want to make sure it will fit the Redfisher 18 as I know there is limited space between the seat and the live well. Anyone have any input or put this on your Redfisher? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price was about the same as the one you found, but mine has the embroidered Hewes logo on it. IMO, buy it from Hewes, to make sure it's factory grade quality, and matched to your boat.
