Owner Experience Review
Owners running bluewater tournaments and long canyon runs choose the 44 STfromContender Boatsfor its fish-first deck and range; the 600-gallon fuel capacity supports true offshore schedules. The twin-step hull with reverse chines lifts fast and runs flat, delivering a soft, dry ride while hopscotching between bites. As one factory team captain put it, "For the size of the boat, the speed you get is pretty amazing and the ride you get is totally amazing."
On the water, reported numbers match the feel: about 37 mph at 4,000 rpm on a factory test cruise, with roughly 65 mph at the top end using triple 425 XTOs in a heavy combat-load setup. Handling stays confident and responsive even with big outboard packages, which matters when you’re repositioning fast in dodgy conditions or running home ahead of weather.
Comfort is purposefully secondary to fishability. There’s a spacious, open cockpit of roughly 100+ square feet aft, a large forward work area with lockers, and a step-down console with a head, vanity, sink, and about 6'4" of headroom—the ST is a step-in head, not a full cabin. Family seating and finish options are available, but the layout remains tournament‑minded; owners plan for routine outboard service and notable fuel burn (factory examples cite ~46 gph at cruise) on long-range days. Hand‑laid fiberglass construction and oversized in‑deck access panels make service straightforward.
Pros and Cons
- Soft, dry ride and a flat running attitude from the twin-step hull with reverse chines.
- Long-range capability with a 600-gallon fuel capacity and an efficient cruise around 37 mph at 4,000 rpm.
- Open, 100+ sq ft cockpit and forward work area deliver top-tier fishability for tournament and charter use.
- Fuel burn and operating costs can be significant, with factory examples around 46 gph at cruise.
- Routine service on multiple high-hp outboards adds maintenance time and expense.
- Console has a step-in head rather than a full cabin, so comfort is secondary to fishability.
