2006 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest – 2025 Repower w/ Twin Mercury Marine V8s – Only 70 Hours
This 2006 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest represents a standout opportunity to acquire a highly capable offshore express with the rare combination of modern power, updated electronics, and the renowned unsinkable construction Boston Whaler is known for. Purpose-built for serious offshore fishing while maintaining comfort for cruising and overnighting, the 285 Conquest remains one of the most versatile platforms in its class.
In 2025, the vessel underwent a comprehensive repower with twin Mercury 250HP V8 outboards, paired with a new Mercury engine display. With only 70 hours on the engines since installation, the power package presents in virtually new condition and delivers strong, efficient, and reliable performance offshore. This significant investment provides peace of mind and eliminates the typical concerns associated with older propulsion systems.
The helm was further modernized in 2024 with a suite of upgraded electronics, including a Raymarine 12” multifunction display, new VHF radio, and new transducer. Together, these upgrades provide a fully integrated and intuitive navigation and fish-finding package, well-suited for both offshore canyon runs and inshore fishing.
Throughout its life, this vessel has been consistently maintained and thoughtfully equipped. It is ready for immediate use, whether for serious fishing trips, family cruising, or extended weekends on the water.
