2024 Contender 23 Bay

The 2024 Contender 23 Bay is a center console designed for both shallow and offshore water. Its proven hull delivers a smooth, dry ride and draws just 12 inches, allowing access to skinny water. The boat is powered by a Yamaha F300 gasoline engine with only 25 hours of operation.

The layout emphasizes fishing, with large casting decks, rod storage, an insulated fishbox, and a livewell. The helm features a Yamaha CL-5 gauge, Yamaha Helm Master Ex control system, and digital electric steering with a brushed stainless Edson wheel. Navigation and communication equipment includes a Garmin 1243xsv display and ICOM IC-M424G VHF radio.

Performance and handling gear includes Lenco trim tabs, a Bob's jack plate, and twin PowerPoles for positioning. The audio system comprises a Fusion MS-RA770 head unit with JL Audio speakers. Onboard power management is handled by a REALPRO RS3 battery charger. The boat comes with a 2025 AmeraTrail tandem axle trailer and includes custom console and leaning post covers.
