As a fishing enthusiast who is always in search of the perfect vessel that caters to the practical needs of a fishing trip whilst providing premium comfort, I've found the Contender Boat 44 Step Hull 2023 to be a worthy contender. Designed and manufactured by Contender Boats, the well-regarded specialists in fishing boats, the 44 Step Hull model is a gem in their 2023 collection and certainly one to watch out for.
The 44 Step Hull is specifically classified as a 'Fiberglass Fish' category boat. The use of fiberglass translates to a lightweight yet durable and sturdy finish that can withstand various marine environments, high-speed water impacts, and harsh fish species. It ensures boaters and anglers can navigate the deep seas confidently while ensuring their safety, a critical factor in any fishing expedition.
With an overall length (LOA) of 43'10", a beam of 12 feet, and a weight of 22,300 lbs., this boat is spacious enough to accommodate a decent-sized crew and fishing gear. A draft of 27 inches allows the boat to navigate through shallow waters quite comfortably, expanding the range of accessible fishing areas. The impressive fuel capacity of 600 gallons combined with a maximum horsepower of 2,000 speaks to the boat's high endurance and overall power.
Moreover, the Contender Boat 44 Step Hull is a storage powerhouse. From a 340-gallon forward fish box and dual 55-gallon transom live wells to a 70-gallon water tank, and ample rod lockers, it's clear that the boat's design is rooted in practicality. Designed with the professional angler in mind, there is a specific place for everything you need on your fishing trip.
The meticulous attention to detail doesn't stop at the functionality. The Contender Boat 44 Step Hull 2023 boasts a range of customization options in hull and deck gel coat colors, topped off with hand-painted boot and pin stripe choices. Together, they make the boat a jaw-dropping spectacle in the open seas.
The manufacturers have also gone to great lengths to ensure this vessel integrates the latest in boating technology. It features a large integrated custom electronics panel, dual hydraulic steering with a power assist pump, and recessed trim tabs, to name a few. The boat also includes a heavy-duty rub rail, non-skid cockpit sole and deck, and an assortment of heavy-duty lifting rings, cleats, and rod holders.
All these features are seamlessly integrated into the boat's design, providing a comfortable and secure riding experience. Yet, it simultaneously enables a highly productive and efficient fishing session, reinforcing the extraordinary balance the Contender Boat 44 Step Hull 2023 strikes between functionality and aesthetics. As such, for avid anglers in search of an upgrade, investing in this boat will likely yield a worthwhile sailing and fishing experience.

The See Dealer Cost Story
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,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
