A proven tournament winner, the Contender 31 Open is a
brawny, top-quality fisherman whose meticulous finish and
high-performance capabilities placed her in the forefront of large
center console fishing machines. The high-tech hull is vacuum
bagged and cored above the waterline with wide reverse chines
and two lifting strakes per side to provide a dry ride. A single level
cockpit makes the Contender an easier boat to move around
than those center consoles with larger consoles. Features include
an integrated dive platform with ladder, two 40-gallon livewells,
transom door, deluxe leaning post with rod holders and tackle
center, in-deck fish boxes (two fully lined 400-qt. boxes forward,
two 225-qt. boxes aft), recessed bow rails, raw-water washdown,
gunnel rod holders, cockpit rod storage, recessed trim tabs, walk-in
console with marine head, cockpit bolsters and an anchor locker.
Note optional fuel capacity to 400 gallons. A fast ride in
the most challenging conditions, the Contender 31 will reach over
45 knots top with twin 250hp Yamaha outboards.
