2012 Boston Whaler

This 2012 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest Pilothouse is a well-equipped and versatile fishing and cruising boat, offering an excellent combination of performance, comfort, and functionality in a manageable 28-foot package.

Powered by the upgraded twin 250 HP Mercury Verado outboard package, this 285 delivers excellent performance whether heading offshore to fish or enjoying a weekend cruise. The enclosed pilothouse, complete with air conditioning, provides a comfortable retreat from the elements, while the generator allows for added independence away from the dock.

What really sets this particular 285 apart is her extensive equipment list. From the bow thruster and comprehensive Raymarine electronics to the outriggers, cockpit fishing chair, and retractable cockpit awning, she has been thoughtfully outfitted for both serious fishing and relaxed family cruising.

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.
