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 Conquests 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.
