2012 Boston Whaler

Boston Whaler's engineers applied customer and dealer feedback in designing the 285 Conquest, crafting a versatile luxury vessel that can only be described as a masterpiece. The 285, rebuilt from the hull up, improves on its predecessor's helm design with unobstructed captain's visibility and three distinct hardtop-windshield system variations: an open windshield, an enclosed windshield and a pilothouse. The port lounge seating is raised for better forward visibility, with an innovative "flip and slide" backrest with filler cushion that allows for forward or aft-facing configurations. Other comfort features include a cockpit sunshade and cockpit table (now chair). Hardcore anglers will appreciate Raymarine electronics, a 30-gallon livewell, and a decked-out starboard prep station. With improved performance and handling along with refined styling updates, nothing looks or feels better gliding across the water.
