The 2025 Contender 24 Sport is a center console fishing boat powered by a single 300 hp Mercury Racing 300R engine. Built from fiberglass, this 24-foot design offers the beam and stability expected of the class, with a trim tab for improved handling.
The boat features a custom sport console with helm pod and a step-down design that accommodates an optional head. Seating is flexible, with a forward bench that includes a removable insert to convert the layout into a U-shape, plus aft seating with jump seats. Storage spans an anchor locker, two 59-gallon compartments under the forward seats, a console seat with insulation, and dual 30-gallon aft fish boxes. A 94-gallon forward fish box and 26-gallon above-deck live well support serious fishing use.
Equipment includes a fiberglass T-top with whisper grey underside, outrigger pads, grab rails, four rod holders on the T-top, LED and spreader lights, and six mate-series cup and rod holders. Pop-up cleats are installed at bow and stern. The boat carries a powder coating package and a full Garmin Tier 1 electronics suite: twin 12-inch GPSMAP displays, GMR Fantom 18x/24x dome radar, VHF radio with 4-foot antenna, Garmin GXM 54 SiriusXM receiver, and an AIRMAR transducer. Audio includes a Fusion Apollo marine stereo, JL Audio M600/6 amplifier, and six JL Audio marine speakers positioned throughout the boat.
