Boston Whaler 235 Conquest Boats For Sale

The Boston Whaler 235 Conquest is a roughly 23-foot walkaround built for weekend cruising, coastal exploring and serious fishing, with the unsinkable hull construction and safety focus the brand is known for. It carries a great deal of seating, a steel-framed hardtop with piping close to three inches in diameter, and a layout that works equally well for a day on the river or running offshore to a fishing spot. Anyone searching used Boston Whaler boats for sale will find this a practical size that handles weather while staying easy for one or two people to manage.

Engine fitments vary across the Boston Whaler Conquest boats on the market. One 2008 example runs a single 250-horsepower Mercury four-stroke, while another has been repowered from a 250 L6 Verado supercharged to a 300-horsepower V8 Mercury Verado that owners report as quieter, more fuel efficient and strong enough to push through rough water. An earlier 2002 23-foot Conquest carries twin Mercury 150 two-strokes, showing 381 hours on the port engine and 371 on the starboard. The V8 Verado boat cruises best at 28 knots while returning 1.2 kilometers per liter, a clear gain over the 0.9 kilometers per liter of the older supercharged six. A typical run to a fishing ground covers around 80 kilometers each way, or 180 to 200 kilometers round trip on a good day.

The helm is set up for both standing and seated running, with bolster seats that fold up for legroom and drop down with a footrest for sitting. The steering wheel adjusts up, down and toward the operator on a single knob, and trim tabs plus engine trim controls sit on the shifter. Electronics across these boats include Mercury VesselView SmartCraft engine displays, Raymarine radar mounted on the hardtop, a Garmin chartplotter, and on the repowered boat, Mercury power steering, digital throttle and active trim that holds running attitude automatically. The 2002 boat adds a Lowrance 4G radar, a Raymarine autopilot and twin dual-battery management systems.

The cockpit is laid out for fishing and lounging, with an aft bench, fish lockers and a livewell, rod holders throughout, leaning cushions along the gunwales, and latching hatches that stay quiet underway. A retractable bimini on two carbon-fiber poles raises in about two minutes, and the boats come with a full canvas package for storage and UV protection. The walkaround deck has high handrails, generous handholds, a forward cushioned bench and an anchor locker; the bow drains quickly through built-in channeling when a wave comes over. Larger Conquest models in this family use an anchor windlass.

Below, the cuddy cabin offers two steps down to a berth long enough for a six-foot adult to lie out, with a removable filler cushion that converts the space into a near-full berth for two or three. Solidly built cushions hide lockers beneath each side, with additional storage forward and access to the batteries, battery switch, DC main and bilge pump switch under the step. A plumbed portable toilet sits under a cushion, connected to a deck pump-out fitting and usable with a macerator. Two opening portlights and an overhead hatch bring in light and ventilation, and a panel opens to the back of the console for wiring and electronics service.

Buyers weighing a Boston Whaler 235 Conquest for sale should check engine type and hours, since fitments range from a single four-stroke to twin two-strokes, and confirm the condition of systems like autopilot, freshwater wash-down and the raw-water circuit, which can be hard to verify when a boat is winterized or out of the water. One well-kept 2008 example lives on a lift slip at Reata Point Marina on the Manatee River in Palmetto, Florida, with the slip available to a buyer. Shoppers looking for Boston Whaler boats for sale near them will find these Conquest boats hold up well with regular care and detailing.
