Tried and tested for decades far offshore for many bluewater miles, the Contender Series Tournament Boat is the culmination of power and engineering created with all the advantages a fisherman needs on even the most challenging of days. With a Contender…you’re always in the game. The Original 25 Contender hull dates back to 1984, and was followed by 31 and 33 tournament models that proved to be classics and game changers. The 35 is another landmark model, as the first to be offered in both the cutting edge stepped hull or traditional deep-V design.
