Importer Queensland Marine Centre (QMC) has just landed a stunning, fully loaded Boston Whaler 345 Conquest. The triple rig is running three 300hp Verado four-stroke outboard engines and has the lot including generator and air-con, twin 15in Raymarine screens with radar, and an Innovation Award from the last Miami Boat Show.
"The new 345 Conquest is tailor-made for experienced boaters who know exactly what they want in a boat: reliable performance, tremendous fishing capability, ergonomic comfort, and the right complement of features, without hassles or headaches," said Jeff Vaughn, Boston Whaler’s vice president of sales, marketing and customer service. "While the technology of this boat is cutting-edge, it has the intuitiveness that is a hallmark of the Conquest family, taken to a whole new level."
The spacious new helm area features a generous rear-facing companion seat, an innovative reversible aft seat, a cockpit wet bar, and more to ensure a premium offshore boating experience and more opportunities to connect with family and friends. Below, the cabin innovates with customisable storage, a sophisticated galley and head, and a forward-berth dining table that seats six adults and converts into a plush queen-sized bed.
Don't let the creature comforts distract, though –– this is also a serious offshore fishing boat, with amenities and options like a bait-prep station, ample rod holders, and an optional upper station. Read more from our previous preview of the Boston Whaler 345 Conquest.
Dusty McCoy, the head of parent company Brunswick Marine, recently told BoatPoint and boatsales that Boston Whaler is surging ahead and its new releases such as this 345 Conquest flagship (lock-up version also available) help make Whaler the top performing brand for the big marine multinational.
Priced from $552K and selling for $625K as landed and loaded, the 345 Conquest triple rig is a dream offshore machine.
