Every Contender is custom. If you’re fishing sharks in California, or sailfish in south Florida, your target species dictates your needs. Don’t take a bass boat to a shark fight. Rig your boat to catch your fish with custom outriggers, downriggers, rod holders, electric reel outlets and more to build the fishing machine you’ve always hoped for.
Just because the wind is blowing, doesn’t mean you have to sleep in on Saturday like everyone else. The boat will handle it. You can’t catch them from the couch. Get out there, and get in the game… with fishability, reliability, and attention to detail on your side. You’re always in the game with a Contender.
Good fisherman want to get there. Great fisherman want to get there fast, and stay dry. Equipped with 24.5 deadrise hull, and years of fishing knowledge embodied, the 28T will get you there fast with up to 600 HP strapped to the back of your rig.
