345 Conquest

The 345 Conquest is a stylish pilothouse express whose integrated windshield/hardtop system offers complete protection from sun, wind and spray. Like all Whalers, the 345 is built to fish. Her large cockpit comes equipped with two in-deck macerated fish boxes, 40-gallon transom livewell, bait prep center with sink, and a sturdy fold-down rear bench seat. There’s also a refrigerator/freezer in the cockpit, and a hot/cold shower is standard. A hatch in the cockpit sole provides easy access to the boat’s mechanical systems. Below decks, the Conquest is clearly meant for long-range comfort. A centerline island berth is forward, and U-shaped seating under the helm deck quickly converts to another double. The entire cabin is trimmed in teak; overall, the boat can sleep five people comfortably. Note that the helm is centered in the 345, putting the captain in the best piloting (and social) position possible. The center windshield pane opens outward to provide breeze at the helm. Triple 300hp Verado outboards deliver 40+ knots wide open. Note that an updated 345 Conquest was introduced in 2014.
