This 2003 Contender 36 Open is powered by three Mercury 300HP engines equipped with a Platinum warranty through January 2029. The engines have approximately 910 hours and received full service at 900 hours, including new water pumps. Cruise performance runs 35–38 MPH at roughly 1.1 MPG, with a wide-open-throttle speed near 65 MPH.
The boat carries a comprehensive electronics suite: a 22-inch Raymarine chartplotter with autopilot, Raymarine dome radar, FLIR night vision, dual Airmar 1kW transducers for high and low frequency sonar, and a Rhodan trolling motor. A Fusion audio system powers JL Audio speakers, subwoofers, and dual amplifiers throughout the cabin.
The open design includes a new Llebroc helm seat and custom rear bench with rod holders. Fishing amenities are substantial: dual transom livewells (50 and 40 gallons), carbon fiber outriggers, Birdsall teaser reels, three deep drop plugs, and a tackle station. A 2002 Loadmaster trailer with 14-ply tires is included and in good condition.
