This is a nice example of the very popular 35' Contender Side Console Express, as she has been kept in an enclosed dry-stack marina facility, has newer Yamaha Engines and other recent upgrades. Her Gelcoat is in exceptional condition!

She is powered by twin 2014 Yamaha F350-B Series with only 700hours, however the port engine receive a new power-head at 630 hours, so only 70 hours since the new powerhead was installed. Motors are fully maintained by a Master Certified Yamaha Technician. 

She is well equipped with factory standard equipment, options and upgrades, which include the follow:

The Twin Fuel Saddle Tanks are New From The Manufacturer (Sunshine Tanks of Florida) 

Well Equipped Cabin (Sleeps 4) & Has a Galley and Private Head

Removable Tower with Buggy Top & New Upholstery (Has Steering but No Controls) - Tower is Currently Removed

The Contender 35 Side Console (or 35 Express) is a versatile crossover boat with a split personality—her large cockpit is great for fishing and an offset console with lounge seating to port is well suited for cruising. The 35 Side Console is a semicustom boat with a long list of factory-installed options. Overnight trips are no problem on this boat; her well-appointed cabin can sleep four and includes a full-service galley with refrigerator, an enclosed head with shower, and a removable dining table. With a generous 10-foot beam, the clutter-free cockpit is perfect for fishing and with 340 gallons of fuel range is excellent. Standard features include an integrated dive platform, 38-gallon transom live-well, lift-out fish box, bait prep station, cockpit bolsters, raw-water washdown, trim tabs, cockpit lights, and a transom door. The helm deck lifts for access to a huge storage compartment below. A excellent fishing platform with family-friendly amenities.

Again, this is a nice example and truly a must see!
