Don't care...but the title says it's a Contender. I didn't know they made Contenders in that style. They are a popular vessel down here in Fla, but are usually big center console with twin O/B's mounted on the transom.<br />That thing looks like a Cris Craft...They don't take to our channels too well down here, but there are several around.

"Scaramouche" looks like an Eastbay...

Scaramouche is a 2002 Little Harbor Whisperjet 42, value guessed at $1.2M<br /><br /><br />The Contender 27' Center Console Fisherman is worth around $100K<br /><br />The Contender 35' tbd

I had the opertunity to fish a Contender 31' with twin Yammy225's,and full Furuno 'lectronics... Whatta machine!! The capt, a really neat person, also let me take the helm for a while. It handled like a Hateras, but manuevered like a BW skiff.<br />SaaaWeeet! If I had mad-money, I'd get rid of it (so I wouldn't go mad), and buy me one-o-those.

I doubt he really "owns" any of these, from what I have heard, he never had a real job, cept being in congress, and marrying rich women.<br /><br />Nice boats though.<br /><br />I saw him on TV a few weeks ago on a small 18ft boat and the bottom was all covered in growth. Maybe it was a rental?<br /><br />Ken

I think that may be the first title kenimpzoom <br />the 18' Dinghy for the Scaramouche<br /><br />Just to put these things in a little context - these boats have been a hot topic in Boston for a while, especially the Scaramouche. So a local radio talk show host and Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr went and pulled the public docs and started a scavenger hunt to find the Scaramouche. Someone found it and took pics. He was curious about the total value of all these boats and Friday asked for help.<br /><br />You can read about it and some other local "gossip" Kerry stuff, including his Nam bonus here:<br /><br /> http://www.wrko.com/listingsEntry.asp?ID=177492&PT= <br /><br />Note from the docs that Kerry is using his pull to avoid paying the fees and taxes for the boats here in MA.
