Research Boston Whaler Boats 285 Conquest Walkaround Boat

~ Climb aboard. Point the bow toward the horizon, push the throttle and hold on. Fish through the day and relax through the night on a boat that is beautifully appointed for both. You’ll appreciate the combination of low maintenance, practicality and comfort of the 285 Conquest®. In the oversized cockpit, there’s a folding stern seat, adjustable helm seat and portside lounge. For fishing, there’s a lighted livewell, rod holders and two insulated in-deck fishboxes with pump-outs. The roominess afforded by its wide beam provides plenty of elbow room for up to 14 people. The carefully designed cabin has a galley area and enclosed head with room to spare. Four can overnight comfortably in the forward V-berth / dinette and mid-cabin double berth. You’ll find tons of storage for gear, clothing, rods, beverages and the catch of the day. The 285 Conquest. Reliable, and thanks to Whaler’s exclusive Unibond™ construction, unsinkable.
