Boston Whalers 255 Conquest is the perfect boat for people living waterside. Those in the happy position of having a vacancy for a 25-30 footer on a pontoon are going to find plenty of appeal in this boat. Especially people keen on off shore fishing with a bit of day cruising thrown in. Some may see the 255 Conquests 2.66m beam as unfortunate. It means it isnt (readily) trailable in Australia. On the one hand, partly because it is so beamy, the 255 Conquest gives an impression of being a larger boat than its 26 11 (LOA inc. bowsprit). It handles and steers like a smaller boat. But it rides and deals with the sea as if it were bigger. Ive tested boats 3m longer than a Boston Whaler 255 Conquest that banged and bounced badly over choppy water more than this boat does. The Boston Whalers formidable (foam fi lled) structural integrity and a sophisticated hull shape (Boston Whaler call it Accutrack) featuring a distinctive curving chine and fine bow, means that the new 255 Conquest is amazingly quiet over the water.
Layout
Inside, the 255 Conquest is set-up as a day boat. A dinette easily seats two couples or a couple plus kids. What the 255 Conquest doesnt have though is a galley. At night, the dinette converts to a generous berth for two. There are two toilet options, a portable type with deck pump out, or a Vacuflush loo with holding tank and dockside pump-out. The cabin doors are bi-fold with a big cutaway into the bulkhead to allow for entry without bumping your head; and they can be securely locked. Theres a small sink against the cabin bulkhead, rod racks along the sides, insect screened portholes and hatch. There is no hot shower, but theres the option of a (cold) cockpit shower (pressurised freshwater is standard). This is an enlarged version of the classic Aussie half cab. But it offers levels of comfort and safety off shore that our trailable half or cuddy cabs cant match. With the fibreglass hardtop and full clears fitted to our test boat, there was adequate shelter for the helm and passenger. Theres a pair of buckets for helm and one passenger, and behind them a smaller pair of buckets facing aft. A tackle box is set into the side of the cabin beside each. Its comfortable either sitting or standing at the big, stainless steel wheel. Our test boat was fitted with a 250hp Mercury Verado supercharged four-stroke outboard. It came with power-assisted steering and Mercurys industry leading SmartCraft instrumentation, along with digital throttle and shift controls. These contributed to the 255 Conquest being more like a 6 or 6.5m classic Aussie half cab to drive.
