If your fishing machine has to pull double duty as a family cruiser, look for features such as built-in forward seating, aft flip-up jump seats and a step down console with a head. The Contender 24 Sport is a pure fishing machine with all the amenities your family needs for a day on the water. With these options you can still have a boat with tournament winning fishability that incorporates a transom livewell and large insulated fish boxes. Storage is always a plus so look for compartments under the bow seats and in-deck storage. Another feature you will want is a hatch in the stern area of the cockpit that allows you easy access to the bilge to maintain your systems. Under the port and starboard gunnels you need horizontal rod holders along with trolling rod holders on top of the gunnels. Now, what you have is a hardcore fishing boat that can also take the family.
