The due diligence is done!!! I'm ready to pull the trigger... Need to locate a 2004 Contender 23 Open with 250 /4 stroke . Any help you can give is most appreciated.

Get one with the big console. It makes a huge difference.

Only one I found has a 300 on it. Located in NJ. 50 hours on the engine. Good luck. Both the 23O and T are great boats.

My dealer in Ohio has a 2005 with 250 4 stroke. Been in inventory quite a while - I'm sure a deal could be had. South Shore Marine / Captains' Choice Boat Sales in Huron Ohio. Call and ask for the owner Tom Mack. 419 433 5798 Tell him Steve Carlson referred you.

61 in dead calm. Still haven't run it with one person or less than 50 gallons fuel or empty 30 gallon livewell. Guess maybe 63 tops. (south beach diet.....3 gallons fuel....turn sideways at the helm...etc etc)
