2026 CONTENDER 25 TOURNAMENT - New Boat Library

The Contender 25 Tournament is any keen offshore anglers dream boat. Built on a hand-laid fibreglass hull, using a multi-directional fabric and foam cored stringer system and added foam floatation, the Contender 25 Tournament has a pedigree almost unrivalled in saltwater angling. Thanks to a 24.5-degree deadrise, the Contender 25 Tournament has an unbeatable ability to slice through the choppy conditions commonly encountered off the Australian coastline in place like the Barrier Reef, Coffs Harbour and Exmouth in Western Australia.

The Contender 25 Tournament is even used as an in-survey charter boat by Eddy Lawler at Peak Sportsfishing in WA chasing GTs, sailfish, and blue marlin. They say good fisherman want to get there and great fisherman want to get there fast, and stay dry. And with a hull that gets better as conditions deteriorate, rigged with a single or twin-engine set-up of up to 400 HP, you can do just that.

The Contender 25 Tournament is a centre console design with the console placed perfectly in the boat allowing for enormous deck space up front for lure casting and enough room down the back if soaking a bait or trolling is more your style.

The Contender 25 Tournament console features enough room for any combination of multi-function display units, radios, and safety equipment. There is a massive 140 litre live-well, huge storage bins in the floor and a spacious dry storage in the forward deck. There is seating ahead of the console.

You can option up with a custom T-top for sun protection, three person leaning post and rod holder or any electronics package you desire. Electric reel outlets can also be added to your Contender 25 Tournament as can additional rod holders and a marine toilet in the console.

With a massive payload of 548 litres of fuel, you can take this boat literally anywhere and do it in style.
