2024 Contender 23 Bay

The Contender 23 Bay is a hybrid bay boat built on a fiberglass hull, designed for shallow-water navigation paired with offshore capability. The boat draws just 12 inches, making it well-suited for access to thin water, while its established hull form delivers a smooth, dry ride in variable conditions.

At 23 feet in length with an 8-foot beam, this 2024 model is powered by Yamaha engines and configured for the dual demands of inshore and open-water fishing. The design balances draft efficiency with the structural integrity needed for rougher water.
