SeaVee/Contender Relation

[Ace1st]

I run a SeaVee CC and while BSin with some friends I was informed that SeaVee and Contender was basically the same boat. They said that SeaVee was the original boat company and that two brothers split and one went on his own and started building Contender. Now I do see some simularities in the hull and deck layout but thats as far as I can see.

Can anyone in the "Know" settle this "RUMOR" if its a rumor at all?

i was told by a charter capt in FL that bluewater seavee and cont share the same org hull. I forgot who was first? sorry. he had a 25 seavee.

when i put my 35 cont along side a friends 34 seavee it is real obvious

I think Whitewater boats were also in the mix as far as having similarities with the earlier seavee and contender boats using the same hull shape / mold.

FROM WHAT I HEARD

NEIBER YEARS AGO WORKED WITH / FOR ARIEL (OWNER OF SEA VEE ) AT THAT TIME I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN OWNED BY ANOTHER.... HOWEVER, HE LEFT AND WITH HIM THE IDEA OF A NEW BOAT LINE....

LONG STORY SHORT CONTENDER WAS BORN FROM A 25 THERE FIRST MODEL. NOW THE BOATS HAVE COME ALONG WAY FROM THE 25 FT TAKE OFF OF ANOTHER MODEL. THE NEW T SREIES IS DESIGNED BY NAVEL ARCITECT MIKE PETERS PROBOBLY ONE OF THE BEST...

SO THE CONTENDERS OF TODAY "T" SERIES ARE NO LONGER THERE PREDACESIORS OF YESTERYEAR. TODAYS SEAVEE AND CONTENDERS MAY LOOK THE SAME BUT BUY NO MEANS ARE THE SAME..
