The world of sport fishing boats is a fiercely competitive one, with various brands endeavoring to push the boundaries with each new design and model. One such exquisite creation is the 2023 Contender Boat 25 Bay by the esteemed Contender Boats brand. This wonder mirrors the brand's longstanding commitment to innovation, precision, and practicality, and is rightfully categorized as a Fiberglass Fish.
Beginning with its specifications, the Contender Boat 25 Bay is no less than a powerful machine. Its length overall (LOA) is 25 ft 4 in; a considerable size to comfortably house a variety of features. Balancing comfort and maneuverability, the boat exhibits an impressive beam measurement of 8 ft 6 in, allowing enough space for anglers to move without compromising the boat's stability. In addition, the boat carries an optimal deadrise of 15.5 degrees, making it highly efficient in slicing through waves, offering a smoother ride in various water conditions.
Further adding to the boat’s efficient ride, its weight falls at around 3,202 lbs without a load, and goes up to nearly 3,550 lbs when loaded. In line with its size and weight, the boat boasts a maximum horsepower of 350, affirming its capacity to zip across waters with remarkable speed.
One of the most striking features of the 2023 Contender 25 Bay model is its extensive storage and functional space. Within its sturdy structure lies a massive 340-quart dry storage designed with additional battery storage. This significant feature goes a long way in assuring the angler an organized and clutter-free space, a great advantage in busy, high-action fishing scenarios. Similarly, a 180-quart fully lined and insulated in-floor fish box is tactfully designed to efficiently keep your hard-earned catch fresh and features a 40-gallon live well and 12.5-gallon bait well promoting an enhanced fishing experience.
Apart from these provisions, the boat features a flush mount electronics panel for easily accessible navigational and control features. There are two rod locker storage compartments, ensuring your essential gear stays within reach yet securely stowed away. A notable addition is the custom 70-quart cooler located in the console's front seat, an excellent detail to keep your refreshments chilled during those long fishing runs.
The asking price for the 2023 Contender Boat 25 Bay is about $126,946, according to the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Considering the assortment of practical features, high-quality build, this price tag can be seen as worthy of the boat's sheer value.
In conclusion, the 2023 Contender Boat 25 Bay is a high-performance vessel, designed with an acute awareness of a fishing enthusiast's needs. Its features go beyond standard to ensure an exhilarating and rewarding experience out in the waters.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
