2026 Contender 24 Sport

The Contender 24 Sport is a center console fishing boat built on a stepped fiberglass hull, measuring 24 feet 6 inches in length with an 8-foot 6-inch beam. Its design combines offshore capability with trailerable proportions, built around an open deck layout suited to both fishing and cruising.

The boat accommodates single outboard power ranging from 300 to 450 horsepower, with options for hydraulic or digital steering and trim tab packages to optimize ride and handling. A jack plate is available for shallow-water operation. The console is offered in standard or deluxe configurations with integrated windshield, and the electronics package can be tailored to include flush-mount systems from Garmin, Simrad, or Raymarine alongside custom switch panels, VHF radio, and dual battery setups.

Fishing-focused features include dual livewells positioned at the transom and leaning post, with modular rod holder packages available for gunwales, console, leaning post, and optional T-top. Under-gunwale rod storage and tackle drawer systems are configurable, along with optional electric reel outlets and downrigger mounts. Forward seating integrates insulated storage or a coffin box, while rear jump seats fold down for crew comfort. Freshwater and raw water washdown systems are standard.

Customization extends to hull color choices in solid, two-tone, or custom gelcoat finishes, premium upholstery with diamond stitching or embroidery, JL Audio sound systems, LED lighting, and optional shade structures. Transom benches, dive doors, and open cockpit configurations are available to suit individual layouts. A custom trailer package is included for transport.
