Contender 44FA—The Next in Line

Following in the wake of the 44ST and built from the same hull mold, Contender’s 44FA is made for the angler who knows where they want to go and in record time. With a fish around liner, the boat features a berth with queen-sized bed, enclosed head with shower, galley with sink, refrigerator/freezer, and stovetop to provide all the necessary creature comforts no matter how far you’re going. In The Bite 540w x 150h 04 1 With 12 feet of beam and the traditional hand-laid fiberglass Contender is known for, the 44FA can compete with the best of them. Plus when it comes to those longer fishing trips the boat is ready with forward anchor locker with storage and above deck cooler storage. Anglers get 70 gallons of water capacity and a full 300 gallon forward fish box in addition to two 100 gallon aft fish boxes. The boat also delivers with four flush mount gunnel rod holders. Add the model options to all this and you’ll never want to return to land. contender 44fa at fort lauderdale boat show Specs
