2026 Havoc 1653 VJST High Deck / Timber Tan

This 2026 Havoc 1653 VJST High Deck gives you a strong mix of shallow-water performance, usable storage, and an easy-to-handle 16-foot layout. The VJST is the step-transom version of Havoc’s VJ series, giving you a lighter aluminum boat that still brings the features hunters, anglers, and outdoorsmen want.

Finished in Timber Tan, this boat has the right look for duck season, river use, backwater fishing, and weekend work on the water. The 1653 layout gives you more room than the smaller 15-foot setup while still staying manageable and efficient.

Standard VJST features include a step transom, 5086 alloy aluminum construction, 8-degree 100-gauge hull, perforated floor, deck with top hatch, MSTC rear bench seating, recessed switch panel, navigation lights, 800 GPH bilge pump, 21-inch transom, Havoc Hyde interior finish, lateral C-channel ribs, and basic flotation.

Whether you’re setting up a duck boat, fishing skinny water, or wanting a dependable aluminum hull that can take real use, this Havoc 1653 VJST is a strong fit.
