Owner Experience Review
Owners who run the 39 STas a tournament platform cite its blend of speed, range, and composure offshore. With roughly 500 gallons of fuel, it stretches blue-water runs, and with typical triple outboards press tests have documented 70+ mph with efficient cruise in the high 30s to low 40s. The 24.5° deadrise twin-step hull delivers a soft, confident ride in 2–4 ft chop and heavier; one reviewer even noted the ride was smooth enough to operate the touch screen without using the backup buttons.
On deck, the layout is fish-first: large fishboxes, a roomy cockpit, and configurable seating around a helm many praise for ergonomics and control. The console’s side-entry door and hardtop/enclosure options help in weather, while the head and storage remain functional but minimal compared with express or flybridge cruisers. For weekend family outings it works when tailored with seating, but owners are clear it’s not a liveaboard; one comment summed it up bluntly: "Nice boat but I'll take the Regulator over the Contender any day of the week."
Ownership realities reflect high performance: triple outboards mean higher routine service and parts costs. Planned access, including oversized in-deck bilge access and engineered console features, eases regular work, yet foam/cored construction and extensive integrated systems can complicate major repairs. Forum posts mention long build and delivery waits—some cite around two years—and occasional quality concerns; expectations are high, as one owner put it: "If it's not what I ordered on a boat that costs more than most peoples houses…they better damn well fix it." For buyers aligned with that profile, the 39 STfromContender Boatsdelivers the performance many seek.
