2026 Contender 35 ST

The 2026 Contender 35 ST is a 35-foot center console powered by triple Yamaha 350hp V6 outboards, delivering 1,050 total horsepower. Built on Contender's signature dual stepped hull design, this fiberglass boat holds 400 gallons of fuel and is engineered for both fishing performance and smooth-riding efficiency across varied water conditions.

The layout centers on an open cockpit optimized for angling. A hard fiberglass sport T-top with enclosure provides weather protection, while the helm console and leaning post with rear-facing seat and integrated cooler organize the fishing platform. Forward seating with cushions offers additional accommodation, and a Mako Billfish 42 bench extends the capacity for crew and anglers. Two 3,700 GPH stainless steel pumps manage water circulation, with two 30-amp electric reel outlets positioned midship for tackle and equipment.

The boat is fitted with a custom Garmin electronics package for navigation and fish-finding. Optional Gemlux outrigger bases and 22-foot telescoping poles (in white) support trolling operations. Exterior colors include Whisper Gray hull bottom and sides with Matterhorn console, T-top, and deck cap. Shore power with 30-amp connection and forward outlet in the bow complete the systems. A forward outlet in the bow adds convenience for deck operations.
