Everything on this boat has been professionally done by the best installers and it's condition defines open checkbook.
It runs perfectly and every switch, knob, pump etc...works period. On a scale of 1-10, it is a 9.
Priced at 55K. . This boat has NEVER been tournament fished and the bulk of the hours are from cocktail cruising. If your tired
of looking at the "deals" that have been rode hard and put up wet, you owe it to yourself to take a look. . THIS IS NOT A BROKERAGE BOAT!! I have detail pics that can be requested.
Thanks, I don't really like the way the pics look above, it does not do the boat justice. I don't think it will last long either, its a great boat! CLEAN
I am considering the Vivid Paint for my 31. has your 31 had bottom paint all the time or did you add it? I would like to know how it affected performance. how has the white held up?

I love the vivid paint. The boat has had bottom paint since I have owned it. I probalby loose a few mph with it. If I have the boat long enough to repaint I will go with another color. Probalby vivid blue or teal. THe white cleans up good but it will stain and it a little work to clean. I leave it in brackish water 3 months out of the year. Whenever i take it out I just clean the sides and the scum comes right off.
I have sent this ad to numerous friends. This is one of the better deals on a 31 contender I have seen in a while. People will kick themselves for passing on this one. I am trying my best to get one of my buddies to buy it.
what is in the floor in front of the center console? Also is the leaning post/livewell from a fountain?
Thanks
It is a solor powered battery charger. It is hooked to the onboard battery charging system. I works quite well.
The leaning post was custom ordered from Fountain whe boat was brand new. It is the bomb. You get the best of both worlds with it. The seats fold up or down. It is really comfortable for long runs.
