Description

2011 Contender 40 Express

This Contender 40 Express has been fully upgraded with replaced V10 400 HP engines with Patinum Warranty until 8/14/28, delivering stronger performance, improved efficiency, and greater reliability offshore. A new Phasor generator providing dependable onboard power, making overnight trips and extended runs far more comfortable. It’s also equipped with a Seakeeper gyrostabilizer, dramatically reducing roll with a 96% reduction, improving stability at rest and underway. The addition of Seakeeper Ride further enhances the experience by automatically controlling pitch and roll while running, giving the boat a smoother, more controlled ride in all conditions.

Aspire coordinates each step. The full inspection cycle for a yacht for sale typically runs 2-4 weeks before final closing.
