2005 Contender 36 Fisharound

Repowered, Tech-Loaded, & Offshore-Ready

Turn-key, repowered, and fully equipped for serious offshore canyon runs or comfortable extended trips. This 2005 Contender 36 Fish Ahead (FA) combines Contender’s legendary 24.5-degree deep-V tournament hull with a major 2025 performance, navigation, and tech overhaul.

Powered by triple 2025 Yamaha 300s with under 150 hours and factory warranty coverage through 2030, this rig delivers modern reliability, incredible hole-shot, and complete peace of mind when running deep. Equipped with a Rhodan trolling motor for effortless spot-lock GPS anchoring over structure, plus Starlink high-speed satellite internet to keep you fully connected anywhere on the water.

The 420-gallon fuel capacity provides elite offshore range, while the forward cuddy cabin offers dry, secure storage and air-conditioned/sheltered sleeping quarters—all without sacrificing an inch of total working cockpit deck space.
