This 2023 Contender 28 Sport is a center console built on a fiberglass hull and powered by twin Mercury Verado V8 outboards producing 500 horsepower combined. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 55 knots and cruises comfortably at 40 knots. With only 380 hours on the engines and a recent 300-hour service completed, the engines carry two years of warranty remaining.
The boat is outfitted with a comprehensive suite of electronics including a Simrad Evo 3 19-inch display, Simrad radar, and VHF radio for navigation and communication. A JL Audio sound system and full LED lighting package are installed throughout. Digital throttles and controls manage the dual outboards.
Fishing-focused equipment includes a large forward insulated fishbox and cooler, an aft fishbox with macerators, integrated tackle storage and rod lockers, a T-top with rocket launchers, flush-mounted rod holders, and Taco outrigger bases. The layout provides abundant storage and work space across the 28-foot length and 8.83-foot beam.
