2008 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest Walkaround Boat in Punta Gorda, FL 33950 US

2008 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest | Repowered | 75 Hours | Warranty | Garmin Electronics

This exceptionally well-maintained Boston Whaler 285 Conquest has been extensively updated and is ready for her next owner. Powered by newer twin Mercury Verado 250 HP outboards with only approximately 75 hours, she combines Boston Whaler's legendary construction and offshore capability with modern power, electronics, upholstery, and equipment.

The Verados remain under Mercury factory warranty through October 2027, and the factory warranty transfers to the new owner at no charge. An extended warranty may also be available for purchase beyond the current warranty period. The engines have already received their 100-hour service ahead of schedule by Mercury-certified technicians, with service records available.

This boat spent much of her life in New York City and was stored indoors during the winter months before coming to Florida in 2024. She has never been used as a fishing boat and has primarily served as a day boat and family cruiser.
