Every Contender has a signature trait. When it comes to the Contender 35’ Express, that trait is outstanding fishing ability with a smooth dry ride to match. With its fully integrated transom, 10’ beam and 24. 5° deadrise hull, you have the makings of a world class offshore performer.

Other features include a raised 38 gallon live well, spacious cockpit with lift-out under deck fish box, transom door and a cavernous storage area below the helm and guest seating area. A clean comfortable cabin sleeps four while a full galley and a complete head and shower compliment this well designed boat. Pure performance, outstanding fishing ability, and comfort puts the Contender 35’ Express in a class by itself.
