I don't need another boat, truefully I don't need this one any longer. The last two times I have gone fishing I have chartered a boat. My business partner is to busy working to use the one we own. We are both old enough that a open center console boat beats us up pretty bad.

Contender is a pretty good fishing boat and for sure very seaworthy. I have been in some real XXXX weather on occasion without issue. The boat has always been a little small for the type of use I put it to. Only 180 gallons of fuel being it's is the main problem.

Perhaps if I would loose about 40 pounds boat life would be a bit less of a problem...lol



Forty miles off Marathon in 1600 feet of water, a small swordfish. Man, just talking about all this makes me want to go fishing!!
