⭐ Overview
The 2026 Boston Whaler 285 Conquest is engineered for Great Lakes and Lake Erie boating, offering the confidence of an enclosed helm, offshore-capable performance, and true all-season versatility. With Boston Whaler’s legendary unsinkable construction and deep-V hull design, the 285 Conquest delivers a smooth, secure ride in short-period Lake Erie chop while keeping passengers protected from wind, spray, and changing weather.
This configuration is ideal for long runs, island hopping, fishing, cruising, and extended days on the water—especially during early spring and late fall when open-console boats come up short.
⚙️ Power & Big-Water Performance
Powered by dual Mercury 250 V8 FourStroke outboards with Joystick Piloting, this 285 Conquest offers excellent acceleration, efficient cruising, and precise low-speed control. Joystick Piloting with Skyhook and electronic steering makes docking and close-quarters maneuvering easy, even in wind and current common on Lake Erie.
Electronics & Navigation
Equipped with a large-format Simrad navigation package, this boat is ready for confident big-water operation. Integrated chart plotting, fishfinding, radar compatibility, and VesselView engine data provide full situational awareness for longer runs and changing conditions.
Comfort & All-Season Use
The enclosed helm, climate-capable cabin, and premium interior layout make the 285 Conquest a standout for Great Lakes buyers. A forward berth, mid-cabin accommodations, electric head, and well-appointed galley features allow for comfortable day trips or overnight use. Multiple tables, flexible seating, and cockpit amenities make entertaining easy at the dock or on the hook.
