Review Articles for the 285 Conquest



285 Conquest

Fish through the day and relax through the night on a boat that is beautifully appointed for both. You’ll appreciate the combination of low maintenance, practicality and comfort of the 285 Conquest®. In the over-sized cockpit, there’s a folding stern seat, adjustable helm seat and portside lounge. For fishing, there’s a lighted livewell, rod holders and two insulated in-deck fishboxes with pump-outs. The wide beam provides roominess for up to 14 people. The carefully designed cabin has a galley area and enclosed head with room to spare. Four can overnight comfortably in the forward V-berth / dinette and mid-cabin double berth. You’ll find tons of storage for gear, rods, beverages and the catch of the day.
