I hear Contender is on the verge of bankruptcy. Anyone else heard of this? I am not bashing Contender boats, I love them. Just wondering.

I heard the same thing today as I was getting my 100 hr service...... Said they are out of Biz.....This is comming from the warrantee guys for Yamaha. Guess Contender owes Yamaha $1,000,000 and cant pay.

I posted the question on another form when I read this. I did no realize that this thread was started five years ago. There is no truth to this thread according to a reputable source.


It should be deleted. Contender Boats is in no financial difficulty.

Their website is still up and the answering machine answers as Contender Boats.
I have put a email off to them to find out.

The date on this thread is November 10th, 2003, 12:16 PM and my source works in sales for a large Contender dealership.

Thanks for looking into deleting this.

Yes, but contender25's post was yesterday and is quoting Yamaha warranty people and that is reason I am checking.
No reply yet, BTW.

Re: Contender Boats Bankruptcy

heck if contender owes yamaha 1mil all contender has to do is sell between 7-10 boats and i am sure that debt would be paid . has anyone priced a contender lately not cheap and i have builder/distributor down here and see them rolling new boats everyday to launch @ the marina for trial runs etc...

Re: Contender Boats Bankruptcy

Just talked to Contender Boats in Florida and was assured that they have not or do they have any plans of filing.
With that, this thread is closed.
