Overview
The Contender 36’ Fish Around merges the comforts of an express boat, while still keeping all the benefits of an open-deck center console. Whether you are out for a family cruise day, or tournament fishing 100+ miles out, this Contender will keep you and your guests safe and in total comfort. The current owner has maintained this boat with an open-checkbook, making her a great deal for the next owner.

There is a custom ice water misting system installed to keep you cool while bringing up your fish in the cockpit. Not cool enough? Open up the cabin door, and the Cruisair air conditioning system will solve anybody’s need to stay cool.
A Kohler 7.5 kW generator has been installed. It makes those long trips truly a pleasure, quietly powering all systems on the boat at any time.
This truly is just like purchasing a brand new boat, but at a substantially lower cost. The boat has been lift kept, and has no bottom paint. The Mercury extended warranty through 2020 is transferable to the new owner, as well as the Garmin warranties. This boat is ready to go, with just about every single option imaginable.
