Boston Whaler 285 Conquest Boats For Sale

The Boston Whaler 285 Conquest is a crossover cabin cruiser built to fish hard offshore and overnight in comfort. It runs a length overall of 27 feet 10 inches, a beam of 9 feet 6 inches, and a hull draft of 20 inches, with Unibond construction and a deep, flared entry that carries hard chines forward to throw spray low and wide for a dry ride. The hull transitions back to 20 degrees of deadrise at the stern, and the boat can be ordered with 12 hull color options plus customizable graphics. Buyers looking at Boston Whaler Conquest boats for sale will find this model suited equally to a guys' fishing trip to the middle grounds, a family overnight, or a day cruise with friends.

Power comes from a pair of Mercury Verado four-stroke outboards in either 225 or 250 horsepower. With twin 225s and a test weight of 9,590 pounds at half fuel, the 285 Conquest reached a top speed of 43.8 mph at 6,000 RPM, burning 47.05 gallons per hour for a range of 167 miles. Best cruise landed at 4,000 RPM and 25.7 mph, where fuel burn dropped to 17.15 gallons per hour and range stretched to 270 statute miles. Time to plane averaged 3.8 seconds. Stepped up to twin 250 horsepower Mercury V8 Verados, the hull has run to about 51 mph, cruising near 29 mph at roughly 16.5 gallons per hour. Handling stays composed: about 16 degrees of bow rise on acceleration and only 10 degrees of roll in a hard turn.

The helm centers on a padded, vented pedestal seat that swivels, slides, and carries flip-up armrests and a bolster. SmartCraft VesselView replaces traditional gauges, paired with a large multifunction display, a tilt-base stainless wheel, and Mercury's digital throttle and shift with troll mode. The 250-powered boats add a Mercury joystick with Skyhook station-keeping, active trim that sets the outboards to the optimum running angle automatically, and adaptive speed control that holds the boat on plane through turns. Trim tabs are standard, with a bow thruster and autopilot available. The helm deck is offered in three configurations: open down-east-style side windows, full glass to the hardtop, or an enclosed pilothouse with a half bulkhead and door.

The fishing package is built into a 54-square-foot cockpit with bolsters rising from 21.5 to 28 inches. A transom-mounted live well sits under a gasketed acrylic lid, two insulated fish boxes flank the deck on gas-assist struts, and downrigger plug-ins are pre-installed below the gunwales. A standard flip-out stern bench deploys easily, with a second flip-out bench available to port and a cockpit table for dining. A prep station with sink, plus an optional cockpit refrigerator, sits to starboard. The integrated windshield runs to the hardtop, which carries LED spreader lights, rocket launchers, and an electrically actuated vent that scoops air into the helm deck. The transom door opens to a swim platform with a recessed three-step reboarding ladder and a transom shower plumbed to a 30-gallon freshwater tank.

Below, the cabin sleeps two couples or a small family. The galley to port includes a microwave, single-burner stove, sink, and refrigerator, lit by hullside ports and an overhead skylight. A mid berth measures 4 by 6 feet under a variable-geometry overhead and a leather headboard with storage. Forward, a U-shaped settee with overhead rod storage and a fold-down dinette table converts to a berth. The fiberglass-lined wet head uses a standard VacuFlush toilet and a pull-out faucet that doubles as a shower. Options worth weighing include the 7kW gas generator, the cabin comfort package, and the choice between the efficient 225 Verados and the faster 250 V8s when comparing Boston Whaler Conquest boats.
