Boston Whaler 285 Conquest

Introduced in 2011, this new Boston Whaler 285 Conquest is an updated version of original 285 Conquest built from 2006 through 2010. Principal changes include an integrated windshield/hardtop design, improved helm visibility, and enhanced cockpit and cabin storage. With a wide 9'6"" beam, the Conquest’s cockpit is large enough for fishing, entertaining, or cruising. In the center deck of the cockpit, near the transom, is a mechanical room housing the batteries, generator (optional), and various pumps. Standard features include an anchor locker, windlass two in-deck fish boxes, cockpit bolsters, transom livewell, tackle storage, raw-water washdown, cockpit shower, rod holders (11), cockpit rod storage, power windshield vent, cockpit floodlight, convertible port seat/lounge, foldaway stern seat, bait prep center with sink, and numerous drink holders. Below, the Conquest’s well-finished interior sleeps four and includes a convertible V-berth/dinette forward, midcabin berth aft, compact galley with microwave, and an enclosed head with shower. Note the flip-up rod holders in the cabin overhead. Top speed is just shy of 40 knots with twin 225hp Mercury Verados.
