NEW CONTENDER 26 BAY  Just Listed

Combining the world class running surface of the Contender 25BAY with some new updates and modifications, the 26BAY displays Contender's continued dedication to innovation through fishability and performance.

The Contender 26 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 26 Bay can be customised with custom T-tops, stand-through 2nd station, seating, leaning posts and electronics.

It comes built to fish with a 151 Litre live-well, and options for additional rod holders, electric reel outlets, trolling motor mount and a large flat forward casting platform. While fishing is a focus, every 26 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 26 Bay rides exceptionally well and will easily handle long and bumpy runs when the breeze builds to blustery in seconds. Built on a unique twin-stepped hull configuration, the Contender 26 Bay runs extremely flat and is quick to plane with a smooth fast dry ride. 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 26 Bay comes rigged with flush mount gunnel rod holders, under gunnel rod racks, a 265 litre insulated fish box and all the creature comforts you need to ensure you bring back your bounty safe and dry.
