Introduced in 2001, the Contender 36 was among the dominant players in her class for several years. There are no compromises here; the Contender has more beam, more livewell space, more fuel, and more fish box capacity than any boat in her class. Designed from the ground up for triple engines, the surprisingly weight-efficient deep-V hull of the 36 Open is quick to accelerate and delivers a fast and secure ride even in 4- to 5-foot seas. The flush cockpit, both forward and aft of the console, is huge with plenty of in-deck storage capacity. The console seems small for a boat this size but the walkways on both sides are very wide. Notable features include twin 50-gallon transom livewells, indeck fish boxes (2 forward, 2 aft), vertical console rod holders, leaning post, walk-in console with marine head, raw-water washdown, cockpit bolsters, gunnel rod holders; K-Plane trim tabs, and a transom door. A powerful boat with the stamina to endure serious offshore punishment.
"Reel Epic" has no bottom paint and has always been stored out of the water and comes with a 3 Axle Load Master Aluminum Trailer. The bottom of the boat is black gelcoat.
