2025 Contender 23 Bay

The 2025 Contender 23 Bay is a center console built to explore shallow bays and backcountry waters. Powered by a single Yamaha or Mercury outboard, it reaches speeds up to 65 mph and carries 80 gallons of fuel for a range exceeding 350 miles. At 23 feet long with an 8-foot beam, it combines the maneuverability needed for tight waters with the performance capability for open runs.

The design prioritizes fishability across the deck layout, with thoughtful engineering throughout. The boat accommodates a single-engine setup while delivering the performance and range expected from a larger craft, making it well-suited for serious anglers and boaters who value access to shallow areas without sacrificing capability.
