Versatility. That's the word that comes to mind when describing our 23 Open Fish. Because whether you?re fishing a wreck, diving for lobster or giving a sailfish all it can handle, this boat can take you there and then some. Rigged with single or twin Yamaha outboards, this boat can suit just about any lifestyle you and your family live for. Using Contender?s 24.5-degree offshore hull design, she cuts through the chop with a soft dry ride, yet remains stable at rest. Amenities include recessed bow rail, forward recessed gunwale rod holders, live well and walk-through transom to name a few. Easily trailered, the 23? is the perfect family fishing machine.
