Contender 25 Open

25 Open: Overview

The first, the original, and what many still consider, the most complete, well designed, 25’ in the industry.

Her superior ride is due to increased running surface of the integrated transom which is more structurally sound because its part of the hull and not a separate bolt-on bracket.

Standard features include a self-bailing cockpit, one piece flush deck, raised livewell, large center console for extensive electronics and up to a 240 gallon optional fuel capacity for those long offshore runs. This is a true hardworking tournament winner with a long, proud and proven legacy.
