In this video, I do a real world honest review and walk-thru of my Contender 23T/25T. Is a Contender the best used boat? Please Like, Share and Subscribe! #SpinFish1 #ContenderBoats #NeverGiveUp #Offshore
I took a closer look at these boats and really love the hulls. The bow entry reminds me of a Moppie. There seems to be lot of boat under the water line. Probably the reason for that good ride.
Great video. I feel the same way about my Sailfish. Love these size and class of boats. You got a real nice rig. Agree totally when you say got to pick your days. Hate getting beat up. 👍.
Thanks for a great video- we are over in the panhandle looking to upgrade our offshore boat! This was a big hep. heading over to the motor performance video now!
have the same boat, agree with you on a great all-around boat. Can play with the big boys on nice day and great inshore . I use the live as a fish box ,will hold a couple nice tuna and dolphin .
Great assessment. I love my 25 t and the couple small cons you addressed have been fixed on ours (2021). I would still rather have your style console though
I was never a fan of Contender until I had personally fished all other big name boats. In all honesty, a Contender doesn’t really have that “sexy lines” appeal like other builders. SeaVee, Yellowfin, Cape Horn, Fountain, Donzi, Onslow Bay, etc, are all superior rides. They all have their pros and cons. In my opinion and for what I do, Contender is by far the best for me. You can’t go wrong in a Contender.

Truly an Icon and defining its name as one of the top offshore boat.
I agree! 👍

KEEP IT COMING BUDDY LUV THE VIDEOS
Thank You!! 👍
Great video! Really enjoyed seeing examples of the pros and cons of the boat. What year is the hull?
It’s a 2005, I got it new in 2009. It was a leftover that sat in a building for 4 years when I found it. That’s a whole other story.
Great stuff, still running the mirage props? If so what diameter and pitch if you don’t mind.
