345 CONQUEST
Winner of the 2014 NMMA Innovations Award.
bOSTON WHALER
the all-new Boston Whaler 345 conquest was unveiled at
the miami international Boat show (miBs). the entire boat was
designed and engineered to provide more opportunities to connect
with friends and family.
starting with the air conditioned helm area, Boston Whaler has
expanded the helm to be a more social environment with a rear-
facing companion seat and mezzanine seating for two that can
face forward to interact with others in the helm area or reverse to
provide stadium seating to join in all the action in the cockpit. an
insert fits neatly into the space between the companion seat and
the mezzanine seat to form a chaise lounge.
the optional port and starboard fold out bench seating
along with the standard transom fold-away seating make the
cockpit a comfortable place to relax and entertain. combine with the
reverse mezzanine and the cockpit becomes a great place for a
crowd to gather.
the interior space is also engineered to maximize the use
of space. Boston Whalers novel use of technology, design and
engineering in the interior is why Boston Whaler won the covet-
ed nmma innovation award. the award recognized the "Dynamic
cabin system" that converts the u-shaped dinette seating into a
centerline island berth for two at the touch of a button. no stow-
ing cushions or table tops. the dinette simply converts to a double
berth automatically in a scissor-like motion revealing steps on either
side of the berth. if two single berths are preferred, simply hold the
button only until the table is lowered to provide port and starboard
single berths.
not only does Boston Whaler show ingenuity with the forward
dinette seating, all the interior seating of the new 345 conquest do
double duty by converting to berths. the mid-cabin seating converts
from a sitting area to a double berth with back rests becoming in-
serts to fill in the foot-well. the bench seating on the starboard side
of the main cabin converts to a berth for one adult or two children.
a commodious port side head with shower offers a vessel sink
and vanity. a nicely appointed galley microwave, coffee maker, sink
with hot and cold faucet and an optional single burner stove rounds
out the interior.
as comfortable as the Boston Whaler
345 conquest is, it's still obviously a high-
ly capable offshore fishing boat. With
the optional tower with upper station
controls and all of the standard fishing
features, the 345 conquest a formida-
ble fishing platform. and because it is a
Boston Whaler you can be assured it will
provide a dry, smooth and safe ride in most
any conditions.
