Overview

A look around the Boston Whaler 305 Conquest confirms its many appealing attributes. The engine mounting area, including all cabling, pipework and linkages, is uncluttered and accessible.

If all that's not enough, this boat has outriggers too, allowing fishing lines to be splayed wide of the boat like a mini beam trawler.

Of course, all these rods mean that you're going to need a lot of space for the anglers. Thankfully, the 305 Conquest's large cockpit provides a generous 58ft of space, while it's super-buoyant foam core means that even if it's swamped by a rogue wave it will still stay afloat with a payload of up 1,190kg, equating to 14 people or a whole lot of fish!

The transom houses a deep bait well on the port side and a deck shower on the starboard side. There are three more deck hatches in the cockpit sole.

The first and largest of these is accessed by folding up the aft bench seat and houses the boat's batteries, a life raft and a bait sentry pump which provides waterflow to the vessel's two live wells (floodable lockers for keeping fish alive) located beneath the other two hatches.

To the rear of the helm seat is what we'd normally refer to as a wet bar but in the case of the Boston Whaler 305 Conquest is perhaps better described as a bait preparation area. Beneath the sink is a locker with pull-out drawers designed for storing fishing tackle.
