2026 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest

The 2026 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest is a 28-foot walkaround built on Boston Whaler's foam-core unsinkable hull with a deep-V design engineered for Great Lakes conditions. Powered by dual Mercury 250 V8 FourStroke outboards producing 500 horsepower combined, the boat combines offshore-capable performance with the practical features needed for variable weather and extended time on the water. Joystick Piloting with electronic steering and Skyhook autopilot simplify docking and low-speed maneuvering in wind and current.

The enclosed helm and cabin provide weather protection and year-round versatility. A Simrad 16-inch navigation package with integrated GPS, chart plotting, fishfinding, and VesselView engine monitoring supports confident operation on longer runs. The boat includes a VHF radio, Sirius satellite receiver, and underwater LED lighting. A reverse-cycle air conditioning system handles climate control.

Accommodations feature a forward berth, mid-cabin sleeping area, electric head, and galley with a single-burner electric stove, water heater, and dockside water hookup. The cabin includes storage baskets and interior lighting upgrades. The cockpit offers flexible entertaining space with a foldout bench seat, table, refrigerator with Corian countertop, and a helm deck table. Stainless steel rubrail with insert, stainless steel anchor, and weather curtains round out the package.
