There’s no logo that’s better-known among boating anglers than the hull-and-harpoon-framed trademark of Boston Whaler. It’s distinctive of boats ranging from 13-foot side-console skiffs to a 42-foot center-console. Dual-consoles, pilothouse boats and express cruisers complete the line.
The “Unsinkable Legend” was born as a dream of Dick Fisher more than 60 years ago. That dream became the now-classic 13-footer, completely foam-filled for strength and unsinkable buoyancy. Today, every Boston-Whaler model boasts this unsinkable attribute.
Boston Whaler 365 Conquest
The powerful, stylish, and comfortable 365 Conquest is a premier, all-season vessel—an offshore fishing machine ready for any quarry, as well as entertaining friends and families.
The boat’s modern design exudes style and versatility. It’s ready for cruising to dockside shops and restaurants, anchoring overnight in a quiet bay, gathering the family for a multiday getaway, or just relaxing at a sand bar.
Then, of course, the 365 offers outstanding seakeeping, plenty of power, and abundant angling amenities for far-flung fishing adventures.
The boat balances formidable fishability with luxury touches that are sure to please everyone, things such as a two-part aft table that stores easily when not in use, part of a customizable aft deck.
The passenger-side seat faces a 19-inch Simrad multifunction display and contains a storage compartment. The seatback is reversible to create a lounger, pairing with a reversed (otherwise) rear-facing seat that can be optioned to house a drawer-style refrigerator, and a pull-out bench seat.
The helm features twin 19-inch Simrad MFDs. Behind the captain is a galley, with enhancements optional. Reverse-cycle air conditioning provides cooling and heating for seasonal comfort.
The premium cabin, with berths for up to five, has hullside windows and deluxe seating and sleeping accommodations, plus abundant storage. Two buttons convert its table and seats into a comfortable master berth.
Notable options include a gyrostabilizer, an upper station, a diesel generator, joystick piloting, a retractable sunshade, a premium audio system, underwater lights, and a transom summer kitchen with a freezer.
Standard power comes in the form of triple Mercury 400 hp V-10 Verado outboards. Another option is twin 600 hp V-12 Verados.
Editor’s Note
With the optional tower and second station, you can turn the 365 Conquest into a righteous bluewater warrior, ready for tournament fishing. And once you defeat a big tuna, use the starboard-side door to slide your prize into the cockpit. -Jim Hendricks
