The Contender 25 Bay is the perfect boat for those who love fishing and cruising around inshore reefs and bays with a little offshore fishing thrown in when conditions suit. A versatile platform for flats fishing and lure casting, the Contender 25 Bay can be customised with custom T-tops, consoles, leaning posts, and electronics.
It comes built to fish with options for live-well, additional rod holders, electric reel outlets, trolling motor mount and a large flat forward casting platform. While fishing is a focus, every 25 Bay boat comes fitted with forward seating in the bow and pop-up jump seats in the aft ensuring that guests are also well catered for.
Like all Contender boats, the Contender 25 Bay rides exceptionally well and will easily handle long and bumpy runs when the breeze builds to blustery in seconds. With an unbeatable ability to deliver a smooth fast dry ride, a Contender 25 Bay is the favourite of sports fisherman everywhere. Built on a unique twin-stepped hull configuration, the Contender 25 Bay runs extremely flat and is quick to plane. Combined with the use of a jacking plate, the boat can get on plane very quickly in very little water which is of great value to the flats fisherman.
The design lends itself well to anglers throwing lures in the salt or impoundments with massive amounts of deck space and a small toe rail so you know exactly where you are in the boat as you move around. In addition, an extra-large hatch allows you to stow large gear easily underfoot without trying to cram it through a small opening.
The Contender 25 Bay comes rigged with flush mount gunnel rod holders, under gunnel rod racks, over 151 litres of live-well space and 198 litres of insulated fish boxes, plus all the creature comforts you need to ensure you bring back your bounty safe and dry.
