 Our team, Double Diamond, fish sailfish and KDW tournaments from Miami to Ft.Pierce. Once we sea trialed the 33T we were sold immediately. Our 33T exceeded my wildest expectations for boat handling and our fishing needs. Eric and the guys at Boat Center made the entire experience of buying our new boat a pleasure. I would highly recommend both Contender and Boat Center of Ft. Lauderdale.

| Mr. Larson, I don't do this often, but I felt compelled to take a moment to pay tribute to you and your team at the Boat Center for all you do. My new boat was priced right and rigged to perfection. There are many places to buy a boat in South Florida, but we've all heard stories of how some companies can ruin the experience with so many little opportunities to drop the ball along the way. Yet as before on my previous purchase from you, your attention to detail was amazing and I'm thoroughly happy with the whole process again. Also, once again I find myself looking forward to your annual Bimini Rendezvous in the Bahamas which is always a weekend of fun and camaraderie for the whole family along with their boats! In closing when it comes to all things boating, The Boat Center, is the complete package! Please feel free to use me as a reference anytime...Mr. Andrew Mulshine-Miami, Florida.

It has been a great experience and choice when it came to the decision my wife and I made to purchase our 2320 Parker from Boat Center.
There isn't a time when we're on the water that someone doesn't ask about it and/or wants to come on board to take a look at our Pilothouse boat.
There are many good things I can say about the boat, but there are a couple of things you can't put a price on and will be remembered for life, one of them being my son's first grunt.
Last but not least, it is always a pleasure dealing with Boat Center!
Thank You,

I just wanted to drop you a line and let you guys know how satisfied we are with the purchase of our Contender 33T! This is our second BOAT CENTER / CONTENDER. This past May my fishing team "Reel Blue" caught a tournament winning 58lb kingfish in the Pompano Beach Saltwater Shootout and in August my daughter caught her first sailfish.
Also I just wanted to tell you guys we appreciate all the great service BOAT CENTER has. We couldn’t use our boat as much as we do without it.

 In 2008, we at The Meridian Club, a small exclusive resort located on the private island of Pine Cay in the Turks and Caicos, purchased a fleet of new Parker boats from The Boat Center. These ranged from an 18 foot runabout to a 28 foot cabin model, all equipped with new four-stroke Yamaha outboard engines. It was a complicated transaction, involving the need to design and fabricate frames, canopies and special seating for the larger boats and coordination of difficult international shipping arrangements. The folks at The Boat Center handled these issues seamlessly. We can’t say enough about their friendly and patient personal service.
Over the past two years we’ve used the boats for virtually all of our transportation, freight and excursion needs. They have performed extremely well. Our guests are well satisfied and we’ve saved money on freight delivery and air transport. Parkers are solid, well engineered, comfortable and exceptionally seaworthy boats. The Club has owned a number of other makes and models of boats over the past 40 years and none can compare to our Parkers.

 Having been boating since I was a kid and currently make a living in the marine industry, I feel that I have enough experience to say that the guys at the Boat Center know how to treat their customers. In December 2009, my wife and I bought my dream boat, a brand new 27T Contender with a full Furuno NavNet 3 package plus numerous extras. Both Eric and Chick were able to make the deal go through without a hitch. Since then, whether it’s been maintenance or warranty work, all of it has been taken care of in a completely professional and timely manner.
I do a fair amount of service work myself and the guys in the parts department have been a great help with good advice as well a fully stocked parts department. Without any hesitation I can fully endorse the Boat Center. They have made my new boating experience even better!
P.S. Caught this cow by myself in October. What a great boat and what a great time!

 I wanted to write a quick note of thanks to the owners and staff at the Boat Center of Ft. Lauderdale. I bought my new Contender 31T in June of 2009. What a pleasure! This was one of the BEST boat buying experiences I have ever had! I have bought four Contenders in the past and the staff at the Boat Center took care of the rigging and even let my choice of outside electronics vendors come to their shop to rig the boat perfectly. Everyone that was referred to me by the Boat Center was 100% first class. I am very particular with custom rigging, but they went a step further and knew just what to do.
The experience was the same for the excellent service after the sale. They picked up my boat at the marina, took care of minor warranty details along with a full tune up, then brought the boat right back to the marina within a four day turn around.
I will definitely refer the Boat Center to other people and I will be a repeat customer in the future!

 I would like to say a little something about Boat Center and their staff. I started going to Boat Center about 7 years ago. I had heard of them through the boating grapevine and drove past their boat display many times until one day I walked in and looked at the boats and met Doug Tellam. Every so often after that day I would stop in and chat with Doug about the different boats. I probably did this for close to two years always telling him I would one day buy a boat from him. I finally bought a used 31' Contender from Boat Center five years ago and had it for about a year. During that time I really got to see what they were all about. Their prompt friendly service and honest advice gave me the confidence to move on to a much bigger purchase... a new 2006 Grady White Express 330 which we still have and enjoy 4 years later!
I can't say enough about the support that I have had from them and the friends that I have made of all of the staff at Boat Center. Once a year during the summer Boat Center puts on a family weekend getaway to Bimini and it's so much fun that my kids ask me why they don't have more of them since summer vacation is so long. When I tell my boating friends that I am married to Boat Center there is a good reason why... They always stand behind you, I don't feel that we are on opposite sides of the counter because I always walk past the counter and into the service area to say hi to everyone. I feel like it's my own store when I'm there.
The attached picture is of us on our 33' Grady White in Bimini during the weekend getaway of 2009.
