2004 Contender 27cc

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 27’s wide, uncluttered cockpit is set up to fish hard without feeling cramped. High gunwales give you confidence when you’re working a fish at the bow or stern, and the toe‑kick all around lets you lock in when it gets sloppy. The transom layout leaves plenty of room to work a spread, while in‑deck boxes swallow ice and a full day’s catch. The helm offers excellent sightlines standing or leaning, with just enough wind protection without feeling boxed in. Forward, the open bow is versatile—pile on beanbags for a long run offshore or clear it out for pitching baits to breaking fish.

This 27cc shines in local waters where conditions can swing from glassy inshore runs to choppy offshore slop in a single day. The hull length and beam balance speed with a soft ride, making those longer runs to the ledges or weekend spots far more comfortable. Draft is shallow enough to slide through nearshore cuts or work close along the beaches when the bait is tight. At the same time, the offshore pedigree gives you the confidence to push out when the forecast leaves some boats at the dock. It’s an ideal platform for anglers who regularly mix nearshore structure, open‑water trolling, and family sandbar days.
