2007 Contender 31 Center Console Boat in Port Clinton, OH 43452 US

Key Selling Points

Performance & Handling

• Deep-V Hull: Features a 24.5-degree deadrise that slices through heavy chop to provide an incredibly dry and smooth ride in rough offshore conditions.

• Speed & Range: Capable of reaching top speeds of 50+ mph (depending on power) with an impressive 245-gallon fuel capacity that allows for extended canyon and tournament runs.

Fishing Capabilities

• 360-Degree Fishability: The layout allows multiple anglers to move freely around the boat during a battle without feeling cramped.

• Ample Storage: Equipped with massive in-deck fishboxes and forward rod lockers to keep the deck clutter-free.

• Tournament Ready: Typically features built-in transom livewells (up to 40 gallons) and transom doors.

Construction & Durability

• Vacuum-Bagged Core Construction: Built with Klegecell-cored topsides/decks and a solid fiberglass bottom, creating an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and a low center of gravity.

• Resale Value: Contenders hold their value exceptionally well on the secondary market due to their "built-like-a-tank" reputation.
