2025 Contender 35 ST

The 2025 Contender 35 ST is a center console fishing boat built in fiberglass and powered by three Yamaha F350XSA2 outboard engines producing 1,050 total horsepower. The engines carry factory warranty coverage through August 2029 and show only 65 hours of use. The boat measures 35 feet in length with a 9.83-foot beam.

The layout centers on an open cockpit designed for fishing. A hardtop with powder coat finish provides weather protection, while a custom sport console features three-sided Isinglass glazing. The coffin box amidships functions as a lounge seating with electric lift operation. Forward and aft undergunnel bolsters run the full width of the cockpit. An aft under-deck livewell supports live bait storage, complemented by saltwater and freshwater washdown systems.

Electronics and automation equipment include dual Garmin 8617 multifunction displays, dual Garmin VHF 215 radios, GXM 54 satellite weather receiver, GSD 26 sounder, GRM Fantom 18x radar with radome, B275LHW thru-hull transducer, and Apollo RA770 autopilot. A Yamaha joystick with autopilot capability drives the main engines, while a Minn Kota Instinct I-Pilot trolling motor with sea swivel and upgraded lithium battery setup handles slow-speed positioning. Starlink connectivity is included.

The entertainment and comfort package features four JL Audio M6 8.80-inch speakers, two 10-inch M6 subwoofers, and JL Audio 800/8 amplifier. Lighting includes underwater and under-gunnel LED systems. An upgraded stainless steel pump box contains four 1,500 GPH bilge pumps. An Edson upgraded steering wheel and carbon fiber outrigger poles with Gemlux bases complete the setup. A custom Amera trail trailer is included.
