A true Contender, this sportfisher is set up for cruising and fishing. The Side Console model keeps the helm out of the working deck for the ultimate Contender experience. The 10' beam makes an expansive aft deck with the baitwell in easy reach at the stern and a livewell / fish box with macerator in the deck.

The Captain or spotter can crew the tower. The tower folds down for transportation or storage and has steering and throttle controls. This Contender is outfitted with two fishfinders, a 1000w transducer, a second transducer with sidescan, autopilot, and two VHF radios.

Equipped with a 36v Rhodan trolling motor and Spot Lock!

In the cabin are two berths and a galley. The Contender can sleep 4 for long hauls or overnighting. The 4000w inverter powers the microwave and electric stove when away from the dock.

This Contender has been repowered with twin Suzuki 300 HP outboard engines and has very low hours. The engines burn 5.6 GPH each at 3000 RPMs. You can cruise efficiently or storm the canyons on this impressive sport fishing boat.

Don't let this one get away! Call or email with questions, or make an offer to hold the Contender!

This Contender 35 SC is a well-equipped vessel with updates that make it an impressive sport fishing platform. The boat was repowered with twin Suzuki 300 HP 4-stroke outboards that have approximately 120 hours of running time. The 100-hour service was completed recently. The trailer is also newer - a three-axle 2015 aluminum frame model. Two tires were replaced in 2024. The other tires are at least 5 years old.

The cabin air conditioner needs service. The owner does not use it.

The center fuel tank was replaced in 2021. Total fuel is 300 gallons in three tanks.
