    Great Job Clay! Maybe while the fishing is slow you could have a show about why you use the equipment you use, what you bought before that failed you. How to tie the knots you use. Why you use the rods and reels you use etc.

    Gus is a good guy and I know he has helped Contender come up with some cool designs (i.e. integrated fwd seating, etc.); unfortunately Gus's territory is only for the Keys and service of your boat has to be an essential element in the decision of buying a boat of this caliber. Enjoy your boat, the 39st is one of the best in her class.

    I wish I could have mine in my house to be able to keep it that clean (live in a condo). Two things I noticed. If those are extra life jackets then disregards but, if those are primary then you might want to use another hatch as if you were to be sinking and your electronics fail then you won’t be able to retrieve them. The other thing I noticed and I’m not 100% sure about it is that the guy that does my electronics mentioned that you should not have the transducer on if you are out of the water as it will overheat and fail. Just my two cents. Love the boat, love the channel. Keep it up!

    • @jakobfolmar6604

      Our transducer for panoptix live scope turns itself off when you pull it out of the water. Not sure what his is but maybe it does the same.

    In My Opinion The 39 ft Contender running 3 400hp Mercs is the perfect boat. Running 70mph in a 39 foot boat is flying‼️⛴ I'm jealous, You take great care of your boat, GOOD LUCK AND STAY SAFE ON THE WATER‼️‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸

    Yeah bro...every gunwale and transom rod holder on my boat is also a cup holder. This makes sense as we are not always fishing...but we always have a crew of drinkers on board. LOL. Also the pop up cleats. My boat is a 1996 Marlin 350 SF and these came from factory with the same exact pop up cleats. Also the Marlin boats have no wood in the construction, this is rare to find in boats built in the 1990's. I think Intrepid was also one of the few builders that used no wood back then. My boat is 26 years old and the deck is as solid as concrete.

      Depends on how you like to fish, how often you are going to use it. If you are only going out a hand full of times a month then pay for a guide/charter. If you are going to party it up every weekend go out fishing during the week after work then buy a boat.

Getting ready for our Blackfin 272cc and are looking at shallow water solutions for the sandbars (other than the stern anchor). I contacted motorized pole manufacturers and they said their products would not work for the size and weight combo.
