Boston Whaler 325 Conquest: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Boston Whaler 325 Conquest represents a synthesis of the brand's extensive experience and customer feedback, resulting in a versatile and thoughtfully designed vessel. This model is available with twin Mercury outboard engines in various configurations, including 300, 350, or 400 horsepower options, all equipped with advanced VesselView displays and joystick piloting systems. The test boat featured twin 350-horsepower Mercury Verados with joystick control, providing a balanced perspective on performance and handling.

Exterior Design and Helm Layout

The 325 Conquest offers practical walk-around space forward of the engines, facilitating easy access for engine checks and maintenance. The rigging is neatly arranged, and shore power connections are conveniently located at the port transom. The helm station is starboard-mounted and thoughtfully organized, featuring a centrally placed compass on the upper dash, a padded recess with USB and accessory plugs, and an acrylic panel housing electrical switches alongside climate control vents. The helm is equipped with a 16-inch Raymarine display complemented by a 7-inch VesselView display, a Fusion stereo system, and multiple drink holders. The 15-inch steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base, with trim tab controls, spotlight remote, DTS spinnaker, and joystick controls positioned ergonomically. Additional features include overhead VHF radio, SeaKeeper gyro stabilizer controls, and auto trim for the outboards. The helm seat is well-appointed with thick padding, ventilated back, flip armrests, a flip-up bolster, and fore-and-aft adjustment, supported by dual molded footrests. The single-piece windshield includes a 17-inch protective visor with an integrated spreader light and electrically controlled vents at the top.

Deck and Cockpit Features

Access to the side decks is provided by 15-inch steps on both sides of the cockpit, with 10-inch springline cleats positioned at the top. The side decks maintain an average width of 17 inches, complemented by grab rails on the cabin hardtop and midship rails reaching 20 inches in height. Forward, the ground tackle system includes a Lumar windlass with a tie-off cleat, a plow-style anchor mounted on a stainless steel roller, and a hatch for rode storage with a wired windlass remote. Cleats are strategically placed outboard on the cap rail to eliminate the need for chocks, and the rail height measures 28 inches. The cockpit center hatch provides access to all mechanical components, including batteries, pumps, through-hulls, a 7-kilowatt generator, and the SeaKeeper 3 gyro stabilizer, which is relocated beneath the grill. The cockpit also features integrated beverage holders within the cap rail and stick cleats. Beneath the aft helm deck seat are the main battery switches and breakers, while the main electrical panel is housed in a cabinet forward of the galley.

Dimensions and Weight

The Boston Whaler 325 Conquest measures 32 feet 3 inches in overall length, with a beam of 10 feet 8 inches and a draft of 26 inches. The vessel's empty weight is approximately 10,500 pounds. During testing, with 56% fuel, three people aboard, and the test power configuration, the total test weight was recorded at 13,999 pounds.

Power and Performance

Powered by twin 350-horsepower Mercury Verado outboards turning 16 by 7 inertia propellers, the 325 Conquest achieved a top speed of 42.3 knots at 6,000 RPM. The optimal economic cruise speed was identified at 25 knots, where the boat consumed 22 gallons of fuel per hour, resulting in a fuel efficiency of 1.1 nautical miles per gallon. This efficiency translates to a cruising range of approximately 307 nautical miles, maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the total 300-gallon fuel capacity. The hull design is entirely new, developed from a clean sheet of paper, and continues Boston Whaler's tradition of performance improvements. The boat reached planing speed at 10.7 knots within 5.2 seconds, accelerated to 20 miles per hour in 6.8 seconds, and passed 30 miles per hour in 12.1 seconds. Although the test was conducted in calm waters, the vessel demonstrated smooth transitions over wakes without pounding or hull slap, indicating refined handling characteristics. The helm response was noted as highly responsive with excellent sight lines, making the boat both easy and enjoyable to operate.

Conclusion

The Boston Whaler 325 Conquest delivers a compelling blend of performance, handling, and thoughtful design. Its new hull design and mid-range twin 350-horsepower engines provide brisk acceleration and a top speed exceeding 42 knots, while maintaining efficient fuel consumption for extended cruising. The well-organized helm and practical deck layout enhance usability and comfort, making the boat suitable for both entertaining and overnight stays. Overall, the 325 Conquest exemplifies Boston Whaler's commitment to innovation and customer-driven design, resulting in a versatile and enjoyable vessel.
