dont have any pictures, but i just went on a ride. (trip 350 yams) the ride is pretty incredible. it hit 66 mph, with 5 people on board and 300 gals of fuel (per our driver). the boat was very fast and cruised along effertlessly. the seas were very calm, but any wake that we could find, it handled very well. the inside is setup just like a 33t, just much bigger. to me the inside felt as big as the 39 venture. i think they have a great new boat for the line up.
i saw a photogragher with a "hulltruth" badge on down at the contender wet slips, so i am sure that there will be pics soon.

I can't wait to ride the boat! I just bought the new Contender 33T-Stepped with Trips, however the 37T is on my wishlist! I'll be in Miami for the Show on Sunday and Monday! Hopefully the seas will blow and I can see what the boat is really like!
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.
ROSS, 77-78mph on the new rig!!!! WoW!! I guess I really wont be able to keep up with you running into Beaufort again this year!! Thats awesome!! Hope to see yall and the new rig soon!!
My brother took a ride on the new 37 T yesterday and said it was a sweet boat but a tad too big. Ocean was flat too so they didnt really get a chance to see what she would do.
Wow - maybe the 1st hull in the water I've seen where trip F-350's almost look light - the chine is hardly dipped in the water at the stern. Looks nice!
the one in the water is grey. i heard the number $312k, but i am not sure what the included (ie. base hull and engines or as she was sitting). I am not really in that kinda market, so i didnt pay too close attention.

you think contender is the first to be prepared for the 350s and more?? Sorry not the case, Invincibles transoms can hadle it, the 09 36Yf has been modified to hadle them. If Merc didnt own fountain then they would have a trip yammy 350 boat, my gosh they have quad 350vrods on 38T........The quad 39 see vee can hadle them too, do I need to continue?
I was really disappointed that Contender did not have a Fish-Around at the show. I really wanted to see/touch one, I think it would work well for us. However, the express model was a monster!

All of those can handle it, BUT they look like there sagging in the back.
That contender looks light back there, you can see the chine all the way to the rear. On all the others their chine is 3-4 inches under water.
