Boston Whaler 285 Conquest: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Boston Whaler 285 Conquest is a versatile crossover model that effectively bridges the gap between a capable fishing vessel and a comfortable cruising platform suitable for offshore conditions. This model incorporates thoughtful design updates and features that enhance both functionality and comfort, making it well-suited for a variety of boating activities ranging from fishing excursions to family overnight trips.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The 285 Conquest features a foredeck fully covered in non-skid material, with an optional cushion pad that transforms the area into a sun lounge. The windshield extends seamlessly to integrate with the hardtop, eliminating the need for Isinglass panels and providing a clean, aerodynamic profile. An electrically actuated vent atop the windshield efficiently channels fresh air into the helm deck. At the aft edge of the hardtop, LED spreader lights are installed alongside rocket launcher rod holders. Safety and accessibility are emphasized with a 15.5-inch wide passage between rails and cabin sides, grab handles along the hardtop, sturdy aft ladder supports, and a step leading into the cockpit. The side decks are molded to channel water away from the cockpit, enhancing dryness and safety. The starboard transom door, positioned nine inches above the main deck, leads to a modest swim platform equipped with a recessed three-step reboarding ladder and stainless steel grab handle. A standard transom shower is connected to a 30-gallon freshwater tank.
Cockpit and Fishing Amenities
The cockpit spans 54 square feet and is designed for both fishing and cruising configurations. Fishing features include a transom-mounted livewell with a gasketed acrylic lid, electrical connections under the gunwales for downriggers, and rod storage racks with tow rails for added security during angling. Two sizable fish boxes flank the cockpit, each with lightweight Divinacell cord hatches supported by gas-assist struts. For cruising comfort, the cockpit is surrounded by bolsters ranging from 21.5 to 28 inches in height, providing safety and comfort. A standard flip-out bench seat at the stern is easy to deploy, with an optional second flip-out bench under the port bulwarks to create a spacious gathering area. Additional options include a cockpit table with a flexi-teak top for dining and a forward sink with a pull-out sprayer. Storage beneath the sink can be customized to include a cockpit refrigerator.
Helm Deck and Seating
The helm deck features an improved seating arrangement with opposing seats to port, which can be converted into a lounge area using a filler cushion. The aft seat includes a sliding seat-back that converts it into an aft-facing seat, complemented by a pull-out step below. This versatile seating configuration enhances social interaction and provides an excellent vantage point for line watching during fishing activities.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the 285 Conquest offers a modest galley to port equipped with a microwave, single-burner stove, sink, and refrigerator. Natural light is provided by hull-side portlights and an overhead skylight. The ship's electrical panel is conveniently located adjacent to the microwave. Just aft of the galley is a mid-berth measuring four by six feet, featuring a variable geometry overhead that ranges from 1 foot 9 inches to 2 feet 5 inches, peaking at 4 feet at the entry. A leather headboard with storage is positioned behind the berth. The test boat includes an optional cabin comfort package with bedding and a privacy curtain. Forward is a U-shaped settee with overhead rod storage; the rod holders flip away when not in use. A dinette table with an extendable leaf occupies the center of the settee, and the entire area converts into a berth by lowering the table and repositioning the cushions. Flip-down garment hooks are mounted on the aft bulkhead.
Private Accommodations and Head
The starboard side houses a wet head that, while modest in size, is fully fiberglass-lined and offers ample storage. Boston Whaler has equipped the head with a standard vacu-flush toilet, providing convenience and comfort for overnight stays or extended cruising.
Conclusion
The Boston Whaler 285 Conquest is a thoughtfully designed vessel that balances fishing capabilities with cruising comfort. Its versatile layout, safety features, and well-appointed interior make it suitable for a wide range of boating activities, whether heading offshore with a group of anglers, enjoying an overnight family trip, or entertaining friends on a day cruise.
