2005 Contender 35SC Express — fully updated and ready to fish offshore or cruise in comfort year-round.
I replaced both engines early 2025 with brand new 2024 Yamaha 300s, so you're getting a 2005 hull with essentially zero-hour power. The fully enclosed salon was also replaced in 2025, giving the boat a fresh interior that keeps you comfortable in any weather. She sleeps 4 and has air conditioning, a new refrigerator/freezer, microwave, 1-burner electric stove, and an electric head — everything you need for extended trips.
KEY FEATURES:
- Brand new 2024 Yamaha 300s (replaced early 2025) — both engines have under 210 hours and the Yamaha 300 is one of the most proven and reliable outboards in offshore fishing.
-
- Fully enclosed salon replaced in 2025 — the lower helm station and enclosed salon mean I can fish and cruise comfortably in all conditions, rain or shine.
-
- Marlin tower with second helm station — outriggers, a super large fish box, windlass, hydraulic deck for access to electrical and water systems, and 2 electric reel outlets under the tunnel on the aft deck make this a serious bluewater fishing platform.
