Research Boston Whaler Boats - 285 Conquest

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. And four can overnight comfortably in the forward V-berth / dinette and mid-cabin double berth.
