Default Contender 31t with 250's & 350's

I did not take a bunch of photos this year but thought this was somewhat interesting. Both boats had similar fuel on board.

Contender 31t’s



Contender 31t w/ 250’s



Contender 31t w/ 350’s



We demoed the 31t with 350's and the 33t with 350's. Both boats are very impressive on the water and as expected the extra +/- 2' on the 33 make a world of difference.

Those 350's are definately heavier and affect the way the boat sits. I surprised that Contender did not correct this. I only wonder if it rides better or worse?

You notice the weight on the 31t and after our demo I'd suggest the 250's on that boat.

The 33t runs wonderfully with either twin 350's or tripple 250's as I've demoed both.
