2000 Contender 36 Open

This 36-foot Contender center console is a fiberglass open boat built for serious offshore fishing and family cruising. Twin Yamaha F300 engines installed in 2025 provide 600 horsepower and carry full manufacturer warranty through 2028, with extended coverage through 2030. The engines have logged only 220 hours. The boat has been dry-stored without bottom paint, and a triple-axle trailer is included.

Recent updates center on electronics and systems. A suite of new 2024 Garmin equipment includes dual display units (8612 and 7610), a four-foot XD2 radar with 72-mile range, and a GXM54 module for SiriusXM, fish mapping, and weather. Helm Master with joystick and autopilot control the vessel. New batteries were installed in February 2025, along with an updated bilge pump, float switch, and battery charger.

The boat holds 410 gallons of fuel and features twin 50-gallon transom livewells, twin 76-gallon insulated fish boxes, and substantial deck and gear storage throughout. Fuel tanks were replaced in 2016. The 36-footer draws just under two feet of water with a 24.5-degree deadrise.
