Default Wanted Contender 23 T

I am looking to puchase a Contender 23 T with a Single Engine. Must be well maintained and prefer a 1 owner boat. NO Bottom Paint. I would consider a twin engine but it's not my first choice. You can reply to this thread or PM me with your boat and contact info.

I agree with SW. This is the best 23T I have seen around:

2007 with twin 150's. Lake Michigan boat. Realize it has twins. Curious why you want a single vs twins. The twin 150's perform great on the 23T and get better the 2 mpg at cruise.

The boat was recently shipped to Stuart, Florida.

Paint can be removed. Or it is a hard high performance paint so I don't think it impacts performance.

We have it painted because the boat stays wet in Lake Michigan during the summer.

Good luck with your search.

You may want to contact Tailwalker Marine in Georgetown SC, Stuart said he has put a Yamaha 350F on a 23T and loved the way it performed, Good Luck and God Bless Richard (Team Toes-Up)

I think anywhere from a 250 to 350 4 Stroke or HPDI would be a real nice set up.

Blue_Moon - 12/12/2008 2:02 PMThe 23T is one of my favorite boats but there is a nice 24 Regulator with a F250 at GREAT price on this site. I used own one and can say these are great riding boats with great storage and a hard top. The baitwell stinks but the rest of the boat is super. I think he's asking $59K which is a great deal. I'd be interested but I don't like black boats.The 23T with a F350 has gotta be a nice boat though. Wonder what kind of mileage itgets.
Here is a link to Wasque's boat http://www.thehulltruth.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=215126&start=1

His stuff is always in new condition because it usually is just that I pass by his dock alot every summer Always take a peak and always see a beautiful boat there

Default Re: Wanted Contender 23 T

Folks, been looking for an Robalo R240. But one of my buddies keeps telling me about the Contender 23T. I have not been on one, but it seems to me a bit hardcore fishing and and i need something a bit more family friendly, also everything seems to be an option on the contender.
Since my kids are still babies, i'm thinking - what the heck - get a 23T !

I read that the 23T has a 25 LOA - Any of you been on a Robalo R240 and Contender 23T, how do they compare? Side by side which is the a bigger boat? Appreciate some feedback from those with experience.
