2020 Contender 28tSold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 28T carries its beam forward, giving you an impressively broad working deck for a boat this size. The bow is clean and open, with plenty of room to kite fish or throw a cast net without dancing around hardware. Deep gunnels and toe rails let you brace comfortably when it gets bumpy, and the coffin box and in‑deck fish boxes swallow serious catches. At the helm, the sightlines are excellent whether you’re standing or leaning into the bolsters, and the T‑top offers real shade without feeling cramped. It’s the kind of layout that feels intuitive on day one and even better after a long season offshore.

In this region, conditions can turn from glassy to stacked-up chop in a hurry, and the 28T’s deep‑V hull is built for exactly that. It’s long enough to bridge the troughs yet still nimble when you’re working current lines, nearshore wrecks, or tighter inlet channels. The open bow and wide, uncluttered cockpit make it easy to run multiple lines, drift live baits, or quickly transition from trolling to bottom fishing. Draft is shallow enough for sneaking onto nearshore structure, while fuel capacity and efficiency let you comfortably stretch to the farther edges of the local grounds and back without watching the gauge every few minutes.
