2026 Contender 24 Sport

The 2026 Contender 24 Sport is a center console fishing boat built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a single Yamaha 300 hp V6 engine. At nearly 25 feet long with an 8.5-foot beam, it delivers a maximum speed of approximately 50 mph and cruises at around 26 mph. The 130-gallon fuel capacity supports extended time on the water, making this boat capable of both day trips and longer ventures.

The boat centers on a robust fishing setup. A fiberglass hard top spans the helm area with four rod holders and LED spreader lighting, finished in white with an ice blue underside. The console features four vertical rod holders, complemented by two additional gunnel-mounted holders and six mate-series cup and rod holders throughout the cockpit. A mini leaning post includes four more rod holders, a cooler base, and folding footrest. A livewell with clear lid and 1100 GPH high-performance plumbing sits ready for live bait, paired with a freshwater system and saltwater washdown.

Accommodations focus on open-water comfort. Forward bench seating with cushions faces the helm, while aft jump seats with backrests provide additional capacity. The console houses a clear plexi windshield and dome light. The boat is equipped with Helm Master EX digital steering, trim tabs, and a boarding ladder. Electronics include a Garmin 1243xsv 12-inch display, VHF radio, SiriusXM weather capability, and an Airmar transducer. A Fusion stereo system with JL Audio amplification and speakers delivers entertainment throughout the boat. Navigation lights, high-speed compass, and LED bilge lighting round out the standard features, along with additional battery capacity and dual bilge pumps.
