You know full well that I run that 31FA but that the 27 is my secret honey... You just aint playing fair...I have run Erics from the Hudson Elbow to Sandy Hook right near 100 miles in 2hrs 6 min twice now and that fair lady is exhilerating to say the least...

This boat will be in Stone Harbor this weekend available for sea trial with Factory rebates...

Per Contender's Danny Beitra:
"A review made by John Brownlee in September when the boat first came out published a top speed of 61mph at 5900rpm and a leisurely cruise speed of 46mph at 4500rpm while burning 26gph. The review was published on the Center Console Angler Magazine August/September 2007 print."
That's about 1.75 mpg at 4500 rpm. My guess is she would get at least 2 mpg if you throttle back to 3800 - 4000 rpm (and you'd still be haulin a$$).
Awesome boat!
Mary- They are both Great looking Rig’s – I’ve always like the look of a “ Contender “ !!!!!!!!!!!! Cardinal Joe![]()
