This is hands down the best video on RUclips for center console. You guys did an awesome job 👍 I love contenders! The 30st is my dream boat and you guys just made it even clearer for me. Thank you
The buyer surely lucked out buying your boat. It's very evident you take pride in taking care of your boat(s). The boat looks brand new. Not an inch forgotten when you clean it. Congrats on the sale. Cheers from Tallahassee.
Damn thats a nice ride! Grew up at the beach and always loved Contenders. Always been my dream boat. In reality something like a Scout or some more multi-purpose pleasure-boat-but-can-still-fish-it type would maybe be more appropriate for me if I'm honest lol.
Badass boat and awesome job putting the facts out about the boat. Excited to see what’s next on the list
Thanks Chas! Definitely one of our longer videos but I could imagine somebody appreciating the video if they were buying a CC.
I own a 32ST. I looked at Sea Vee , Invincible, Sea Hunter, Jupiter but I just like the look of the Contender. They just have a bad ass look going thru the water.
Who details your boats? Give them a bonus! Was never a Contender fan until I saw your video, you did a great job!
A great walkthrough, thanks! I have a 32-Andros Offshore, almost identical to your boat. The price you are asking is very fair and a great deal in my opinion - cheers.
Thanks for watching my friend and nice, those Andros boats are beautiful.
Man thank you for everything I’m going to get me a 30’ contender
Everything about this video is fantastic! Great job and GLWS.
Excellent Vid Bro!! You absolutely sold me on a Contender 30ST🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks Victor!
My 2020 25T came in back in August 2019. Awesome boat, I love it. If this boat is still available around October and November 2020 I would be interested. I need to go bigger!!!
Love the 25T such a cool versatile boat. She probably won’t last long but you never know!
Great boat. I almost bought one, but went with a GW because the build quality was just better, there are little things you notice as a boat builder. The Contenders are more flashy though, which will attract more people.
Very cool Cody 👍🏼 Gradys are great. Just very different in performance in comparison to contender but At the end of the day it’s all preference, hope you’re enjoying the new boat!
@@LifeByTheBow Thanks. I have to slow down in the GW 326 often times where the Contender would do fine at higher speeds, modified V vs deep V. The Contender is a sports car, but is lighter (less glass) and will fall off plane at higher speed. As you note, the Contender is more efficient running fast, you just have to run fast. The GW has a more solid, thicker feel to me, with less flex, and I trust it with my family, but it is a heavier boat with a slighter dead-rise in the stern. If It was just me, I would get a Contender or more likely a Yellowfin, just a step above. Great video BTW, very well thought out. Keep it going, you do an exceptional job.

Such a fantastic boat/review video. My dream is to own one of these and live in Florida one day.
Likewise im dreaming of having this and moving to Cape coral. Cheers from the east coast.
My dream also
Trust me , u do not wanna live in humid ass Florida bro
Unless your down by south fl
Saw yall last Saturday on the water as I was headed out of the channel. Yall were headed in.
Sweet next time you see us give us a holler!
Great review. Appreciate ur design and rationale
Thanks Jack 👍🏼
Quality production. Quality rig. Thumbs up.
Thanks Jim 👍🏼
Those are badass boats I note that
Miami Dade PD uses Contender Boats
2015? That boat looks brand new. So clean!
Thanks Ronnie she’s been babied, whoever has her next is very lucky
Luvin the content and digesting as much info as possible b4 making a BUCKET LIST move to the Keys. THX!
Thanks so much A.J. glad you’re enjoying the Content!
Great review!
What if you have to pinch a loaf or make your bladder ladder?
Bro this dude has it going on here.... smoking hot woman... bad ass boats... huge house and his woman cooks the fish they catch! This is a blessed man here! Keep it up man your doing something right!
Appreciate you watching Jake 👍🏼
*I LOVE IT!!!!!!* ❤
15:34 That's some nice access! What year is this boat? The entire boat has looked new to me until I saw those fuel filter bases.
Beautiful boat and a solid price considering how crazy the boat market is right now.
No doubt! Thanks Dave, she sold yesterday.
More than my 2,000 sq ft house
@@JoshuaGriffing😂😂😂😂😂
Very nice boat! Why no VHF radio? That' s primary comms on the water, and with DSC it's something anyone can use in an emergency.
Excellent review
Thanks Paul!
My dream boat
I always heard contenders have a great ride. Wish I could offshore it but I’m looking for a 20ft CC right now 😭😭
Any boat is a good boat my friend! When the seas are calm they all run the same 👌🏼
Robalo 1820 , 40 miles off shore in 2 ft seas, ez breezy
I have always wanted to have a contender to fish offshore
Their amazing !!!! Was 8ft last Sunday and still went out 60 miles in a 30 ft boat without slamming or taking one over the bow love them
If you're looking for the ultimate center console fishing boat, the answer is 32' Regulator with twin Yamaha F350 outboards.
The quality of the picture is great .
Thanks thats what we strive for!
I literally can't fathom a boat that costs $179,999. That's more than some people's houses. A $70,000 freshwater boat is nearly top of the line. Salt water is a different ballgame all together.
Luxury sport cup holder. WOW
👍🏼
Wow great boat
Thanks my friend!
great video;
You really sold me on the center console.
Awesome boat. When selling kidneys becomes legal, I'll get one :). I've been on many Contenders and they truly are awesome fast boats. If you can afford it, this is a good deal!
Haha thanks my friend! Appreciate you always watching and commenting.
Very informative. Thanks
How much are you asking for the kidney?
Would look real good if you had white motors with the white out package!
True! We thought it needed a little contrast though 👌🏼
Definitely looks better contrast other wise too white
So I guess a trade for my KeyWest 196 might be out of the question ? That Contender is perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. I am curious however to see what you are replacing it with.
Thanks for the kind words Julien 👍🏼
Great video and fantastic boat. Your price is fair. Lots of upgrades and custom features but I am curious about the removable rear bench seat. Is there any way to stow it on the boat when not in use? Thanks again!
Thanks Jen! The rear bench seat will fit in the console 👍🏼
I love your videos! I’ve been looking into getting some avail Merch! Any discount codes? New subscriber here!
Hey Maria, thanks for watching! Not at the moment but some codes will definitely pop up in some of the future videos! 👍🏼
Want to know in what part of Iloilo sale of outboard motor boats
Are you upgrading to a Grady white ?
Greetings from Denmark..
What shades are you wearing? Like the blue lenses
Costa reef tons 👍🏼
Had 3 contenders all 23' back in the early 90's and I did stuff to them that is being done today I was the first to put rod holders all around the boat like they do today and many things that contender does because we had become well know with the fishing in a small c/c. are first contender was 23' with twin 200 mercury's on it it ran 73 mph how do I know this is because FWC clocked me between north palm beach marina and blue herion bridge. And Yes contender is the best true sportmans boat out there. I own a 31 bertram now
scooter13 I love Bertram 31 I got one that’s 50 years old and just redid the engines for 50 k but it’s a great boat
Very cool 👍🏼
Selling for top$$ - good way to move up - what’s the replacement plan? Another Vee?
Oh yeah! And another contender
Long shot but is this boat still for sale??
Are you related to Joe Cowart of Port Orange FL?
What’s your thoughts on Sportsman boats?
Hey Mike they build a good boat in my opinion 👍🏼
Goat
Thanks my friend!
Great boat what is the fuel capacity
Hey Tony, 265 gallons. Middle tank is 115 and the saddle tanks are 75 gallons.
Looking for a trip from Dubai to the keys if you can ssist
That's a dream boat for sure. If I bought this it would no doubt be my last boat. How do you you out do this boat?
Yellowfin or freeman
It’s hard! Contender builds a solid machine 👍🏼
What’re you replacing it with?
Gotta stay tuned!
how do you keep it all so clean
A lot of cleaning! After every day of use I always rinse and dry.
@@LifeByTheBowI WOULD totally watch a video of that
chime?
Still available? Engine Hours? In the market for a 30st
Still for sale
Live wells would be a lot better with a blue tint inside and plexiglass lids.
Good suggestions
Where to cut up bait? Bait station?
There's always the stand alone cutting stations that work well.
What’s the next boat your buying
Gotta stay tuned to see!
still available??
Great boat on almost all counts, but one thing that bugs me... no solid windscreen and no wiper.
How does one inquire about this boat? I don’t see a link.
Hey Mark my email is at the end of the video
What is the fuel tank size?
Saddles are 75 gal combined and center is 115
would Love one, to bad I do not have the cash for it... my dream a fishing boat...
Appreciate you watching Paul!
@@LifeByTheBow my pleasure, Bro.. God Bless....
Great video! But 5 ads on a 21 minute video seems a little bit excessive.
Thanks for watching my friend!
@@LifeByTheBow savage lolol
Cobia :) Contender :)
We love our contender. 🎉
Man what’s the income of people buying this boat? I get financing for 10 years but sheesh
More than us obviously. It's what I thought also. It's the price of a small house.
more steph.
Looks like you’re out of luck here bud
Vid for the rich and the dreamers 😝😝😝
soooo there's no where for your tackle?
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Give the boat away in a raffle. I’m good for $100. Probably make way more than 179k. Sick boat!
Haha!
hey ive always wonder what your profession is? Like what you guys do for work. If its too much to ask for then it is fine
E-commerce, online sales and media 👍🏼
Boat still available?
Yes
Seems like the perfect center console. Why are you selling it?
Thanks for watching my friend got another one being built on the way!
Perfect for me....how much ?
Victor Da Silva seriously? After saying the price multiple times throughout the vid?
I think he’s being sarcastic lol, Appreciate you both watching.
Life By the Bow LOL stressful times - how much Again ?
Victor Da Silva boat sold yesterday Victor
Life By the Bow congrats bro. Look forward to new vids
Only a 170,000 out of my price range.
Boston Whaler a day long...
why you selling it brother!!!
Hey Joshua you’re going to have to stay tuned!
If you love it so much, why sell it?
It is a great looking boat!😀✌️
New one was on order lol!
Surprised the 1/2 ton truck pulls that beast out. I guess you aren't going far though.
Without a doubt 💪🏼 4wd is a must though with a slippery ramp. Thanks for watching Bobby.
You really like the word "really". Really cool boat. Looks great. i really wish the video was a bit shorter. :-)
I really can’t lie.. I really like to use the word really... I feel like it really gets my point across. Lol thanks for watching Steven 👍🏼
Used contender boats
Thanks for watching Timothy 👍🏼
One bad ass boat and you have some basic ass rod/reel combos.
It’s not how nice your stick is it’s how you wiggle that worm
Caught about every fish that swims in Southeast Florida on those set ups
Now for the past seven years. Just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean that it’s always the best option 👍🏼
I used to think that until i bought highend gear..... i could be catching nothing and I'm still happy turning the reel. When I'm slaying monsters, it makes it 100 X's more enjoyable.
180k? I might avoid shallow water. I do love Contenders...
Need to get shallow to get to the bait sometimes appreciate you watching!
The price of $199,999 screams for a negotiation.
There's no way that boat is 179K new the way it sits and rigged in this video. If so' then i may buy one because i'm in the market for a 25' to 30' but my budget is 150K I can stretch it tho.
Hey my friends this boat is a 2015
@@LifeByTheBow What's the engine hours on it? Servicing intervals, who maintained it, what area of south Florida is it in?
ROUGH SEAS vs BOATS | Amazing Vessels Chap-1
👍🏼
Does anyone have $179,999.00 that I could borrow?
Haha wish I could help you out!
All that and no "head" ??
Weve had a lot of bad experiences with heads on boats. If you’ve seen some of the things I’ve seen you wouldn’t want one either..
Sorry assist
Really?
Hey James did you have a question?
WTF happen to the boating industry , What happen to being able to afford a good boat for $50K or so , everything you see is in the 6 figures , this 30ST is 1/4 Mil $ ,$50K now days gets you a used Pontoon ...... I will keep fishing off my Kayak
Hey Sam it’s just inflation. Actually boats are more affordable today than ever just because there’s so many used boats out on the market.
Agree.I bought a 2004 Rinker 282BR brand new off the showroom floor for 60k.It has a 496/375hp mercruiser and runs strong.My dealer told me a boat comparable to mine is at least 150k.Sure the new ones have more bells and whistles but come on.These center consoles are stupid money.
Why do americans put two 300's on a 30ft boat. 2x 200hp makes a lot more sense.
Better fuel economy
@@LifeByTheBow I might be wrong, but my calculations show much better fuel economy on my 30ft with 2x 200hp's than what you described in the video
The older contenders were larger and better!
Lol sure
The original contenders sure were legendary 👍🏼 a lot of good ones still around.
Larger how? They make them much larger now.
Sorry question, what in the actual fuck do you guys do for a living to afford a $180,000 boat? Like seriously.
We are planning on moving to Florida and will be ordering a boat. Would you be available to help us "fit out" the boat with all the proper fishing gear that we may need? We have no experience fishing. (I remember as a 12 year old catching a small fish on a lake with some old fishing rod at a friends cottage)
That’s awesome and sounds like fun, good luck!
