Overview
The 285 Conquest was updated in 2011 and is very thoughtfully appointed,
offering premium comfort and features for active day trips and
overnighting. These updates include better helm visibility, an enhanced
port lounge and more storage throughout. The cabin sleeps four with a
plush forward V-berth/dinette and a mid-cabin double berth. The Main
cabin features the optional TV, a deluxe galley and a private head
deliver the comforts of home. The Hardtop and glass enclosure provide
not only good visibility but very good protection from the elements.
This boat is kept in "Pristine" condition and would be one for even a
"New" boat buyer to take a look at.
Optional Equipment include
the Bow Thruster, Helm Deck Table, Cockpit Foldout Bench Seat, Air
Conditioning, Premium, Cruising, and Entertainment Package
Cabin
As we move down below, immediately to port is the galley with the
usual amenities of microwave, single burner stove, sink and
refrigerator. The single burner stove is part of the optional cruising
package that also includes a dockside hook-up to the water system, and a
water heater. Natural light comes in through hullside port lights and
an overhead skylight. The ship's electrical panel is located right next
to the microwave.
Just aft is a mid-berth
measuring 4' x 6' with a variable geometry overhead running from 1'9"
to 2'5" and topping out at 4' at the entry. There's a leather headboard
with storage just behind.
Forward is a
U-shaped settee with rod storage overhead and the rod holders flip-out
of the way when not in use. In the center of the settee is a dinette
table with extended leaf. In the collapsed position the leaf support
doubles as a stainless grab handle. This entire area converts to a berth
quite easily by lowering the table, extending the table, and sliding
the cushions towards the center. On the aft bulkhead are flip-down
garment hooks.
To
starboard is a wet head that is roomy enough to serve its purpose. The
Head is completely fiberglass lined with plenty of storage and Boston
Whaler went with a VacuFlush toilet as standard. On the aft bulkhead is a
hatch leading to the backside of the helm console for service and
installations.
