Boston Whaler 345 Conquest

New for 2014, the 345 Conquest is an updated version of the original Whaler 345 Conquest produced during 2007–13. Designed to handle triple outboards, modifications include a revised hardtop/windshield design, and a rearranged helm deck with portside dinette, reversible aft seat, and wet bar. Standard features include an integral bow pulpit, 40-gallon transom livewell, in-deck fish boxes, transom door, 8 kW diesel generator, bow thruster, cockpit wet bar, trim tabs, transom-mount rod holders (3), and tackle storage. Notable options include joystick controls, windlass, bait prep station, foldout cockpit seats, cockpit grill and freezer drawer. An upper station is also available. Below, the Conquest’s well-appointed midcabin interior with hardwood flooring sleeps six and includes a forward-berth dining table that converts automatically into a queen-sized bed—very cool. Triple 300hp Mercury Verado outboards cruise the 345 Conquest at 28–30 knots and reach a top speed of just over 40 knots. Note that a pilothouse version of the 345 Conquest with hard aft bulkhead is also available.
