This thread illustrates the best and worst of the internet. The good news is that many can contribute and therfore the original questioner gets a wide range of information -- the bad news is that one never knows the veracity of the information. We have owned 4 center console boat brands over the past 12 years ranging from 23 to 33 feet. The Contender by far is the best offshore fishing platform we have ever owned. Our current ride is a 2008 Contender 33t with twin Mercury Verado 300s. It is also the first boat I have personally run where I feel as if I (and my crew) will break before the boat -- a good feeling in the 6-8s' we fish in sometimes. All in all a great boat....email with any specific questions.
Mary, I wouldn't be too concerned with the derailment.....just part of the scene (unfortunately). Are you heading south for the Miami show?

These are not the "only" two threads that this has happened in. Not even just to me.
I can take the lol hahaha stuff but misguiding people is wrong.
Personal attack againest me and my work or knowledge is wrong as well.
I have never ever told someone something that I wasnt sure of nor will I ever.
If I can't recall the exact 100% correct answer to the question asked and if I am not sure of myself I DO NOT ANSWER OR GIVE ADVICE. If I do answer I will make it known that this is what I think and that I want to double check my thoughts with someone that will be 100% correct
It would be like me pretending to be a doctor and giving medical advice to a sick person
This is not about a sale to me, its not about Contender, Its not about money. Its about helping a member of this site make an educated decision on the question that they are directly asking.
Do you see me giving advice on how to catch Giants?? No, because I don't know and I will never tell someone I know something that I dont know 1st hand or have experience with.
I have no problems with Vinny what so ever other than commenting on things he should not comment on. I would sit in a bar today and have beers with the man. This is not personal to me, its just a matter that needs to be dealt with.
how can you mis guide someone with a personal opinion!? you sell them and market them great... you have professional knowledge on them..
shit mary.. you know as well as i know that half of the people in your field dont know chit on chit about boats.. and thats just plain scary.. anyone can talk specifications and shit and i know you know all about them..
i was not attacking you personally do not get me wrong.. but when i state a factual opinion about a boat i dont think it worth its weights in gold TO ME THAT IS i will state the facts about it..
i simply told a friend i do not care of them and maybe get another hull.. especially since i personally know what he is looking to spend..
my friend has a 27 and it is like a teal sided hull out of stouts creek forked river called waterproof..
sweet boat and he does love it.. but i dont find it to be an offshore battlewagon at all... also ridden on a few others and that is my opinion!!! just my opinion..
no one has to take it for anything.. i was simply pleading my case and people get offender easily on here because i understand it is your livlyhood and such but take a look around.. did i ever bullshit something in a thread of you trying to sell aboat!?
did i ever say someones lures on here or charter business sucked!? come on now..
because i dont get a long with specific people ever little penile disfunction on this site has to get all over me.
this is not directed at you mary and i am sorry to derail the thread but it is a public forumn and misleading information was not given at all. i never said anything specific on the contender other than i do not care for them.. as i am sure you dont care for a few specific boats around the world that are built and would have a strong opinon on them as well..
so mary i do apologize to you and you only... i did not mean for it to come around as a personal attack and next round at LA's is on meor buckalews or even better we can go down to the old rust buckets in barnegat light!!
