CONTENDER OPINIONS

LITTLEBISHOP · #1 12-18-2003, 12:32 AM

Hi All, I'm thinking of buying a 1992 25ft contender center console, with "b" bracket? Obviously pre-owned and in need of a little work. I will be keeping the 23 Sceptre. Just looking for something a little bigger with closed transom and bracket in place. . Any opinions about the older contenders? I think Tradyer had one...
Thanks Marc

There are a great boat and I haven’t heard of any problems on the older ones. I would just thing of the regular survey on boat and motor.

Can't speak much to the boat, sorry for that...

But a few years back we ran into a Contender Tourney in Key West and man, did we have fun hanging with those people! They knew how to have fun [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Hi Capt Brad, Whats up...... what do you mean by "pretender" Doesn't sound too positive! Marc

Hooper, I could scratch the boat and save a bundle, then just go to the Keys , That may be a better idea!
