Default Re: Contender 37 T

take a look at "the dealer" BRETT 1, he has an 09 yf 36 with yammys and she sits fine, the 38T ftn holds the same weight just fine in the water, so does yf42, see vee 39........of course these guys have had to "beef" up for the weight, Invincible was the only one originally tooled for 350s and higher

Let me tell you this..... that contender is nearly empty on fuel and zero tackle or gear. Here is my '09 with 350's, fuel and all my gear on board besides rods and reels.

the 33TS w/ trips must fly. I was on the 33TS w/ twin 350s today and we hit 65 mph. I have also been on a 33T w/ trip 350s and we got 66 out of that boat. I cant imagine the stepped with the trips.
I'm getting 77-78 mph out of the triples. Honestly I think the boat has more, however I don't have enough prop right now. Having some props made by Yamaha.


NICE numbers, has anyone ran one of these with trip 350Vs? If your getting 77-78 with yamahas the verados should be able to put 3-4ph on top...80-82ish...hmmmmm What does invincible run with Y350s?

Jasonpaul.......lets not start this who is faster thing again. I dont have the energy for that again. Invincibles run just as fast as yellowfins Hp to Hp.........that is all that matters. They are both very different boats for different fisherman

Yellowfins make there way into any thread about any boat. Any boat must be compared to the almighty yellowfin before anything else...haha hilarious

Not hilarious, just true! When somebody sets the standard, the comparisons naturally follow!

I got on hte new 37T.....nice boat. Contender has great livewell setup....I wish my YF was a wide transom and the divided livewells. The boat feels like all the other contenders...not a bad thing.

Here are the downsides for me..I tought the gunwales are way to low all around the boat (this is matter of opinon), Leaning post was just just a LP...they have always been basic on a contender and the bilge access seemed small for a boat this size. The boat felt like it had more of a bullet shaped bow, kind of like the donzi's (not quite as much).

If the price is really 312K....I wish them Good Luck.
