2024 Bankes Boats Hercules

At 14’ long it provides more leg room than any other layout boat available. It’s 53” width gives you superior stability and a wider cockpit with plenty of shoulder room. 

We also designed the Hercules to be towed. The Hercules is the only single person layout on the market that can be towed easily and confidently at high speeds up to 35 mph. Just hook it on and go! The Hercules unique hull design with its ballasted keel allows it to track right behind your tender boat. Even when going around corners it stays right behind you, and won’t skid off to the side. 

The Hercules has many features to make it more comfortable and easier to use. It has a molded-in backrest and padded headrest for maximum comfort so you can enjoy the hunt. There is a flat shelf area on each side of you to keep your shells, radio, etc. close at hand. The Hercules has an adjustable spray shield so you can adapt to the weather conditions you encounter. All this, in a boat that is all hand-laid fiberglass, with foam flotation for your piece of mind and safety.
