Description
If you’ve been searching for a mint-condition Contender 28 Tournament, this one stands apart from the rest. Delivered new in March 2023, this Seafoam Green 28T has been professionally maintained, covered storage-kept, and meticulously equipped with the best options available from Contender’s factory.
This is a turn-key, like-new vessel ready for serious offshore anglers and family adventurers alike — blending performance, style, and proven Contender quality in a 28-foot package that rides like a much larger boat.
Built for the discerning owner, this boat was ordered with nearly every major upgrade available, plus a complete Garmin electronics suite, premium JL Audio sound system, Gemlux hardware, and a custom color and upholstery combination that turns heads at the dock.
Performance & Ride
The legendary Contender 28 Tournament hull delivers a soft, dry ride and outstanding fuel efficiency. With twin Yamaha F200’s Digital Electronic Control outboards, the boat performs with power and balance — achieving top speeds in the mid-50s mph range and an economical cruise around 35 mph.
The 180-gallon fuel tank provides an impressive ~300 nautical mile range, allowing long offshore runs without concern.
The Helm Master EX system gives effortless control with built-in autopilot, digital throttle and shift, and precision steering. Trim tabs and power-assist hydraulics make handling smooth and responsive, even in challenging sea states.
