2026 Contender 26 Bay

The Contender 26 Bay is a 26-foot bay boat built on a fiberglass hull, designed for fishing and backcountry exploration. It combines proven Contender running surfaces with design refinements aimed at delivering strong performance across shallow waters and coastal terrain.

The boat's 8.5-foot beam provides a stable platform suited to fishing work, while the layout and design emphasize access to skinny water and remote areas. The single gasoline engine powers the boat for the speed and efficiency expected from the Contender line.

This 2026 model represents Contender's continued focus on marrying fishability with running performance in a compact, versatile format.
