This is a turn-key example of the legendary Boston Whaler 23 Conquest. Renowned for its "Unsinkable Legend" foam-core construction, seaworthy deep-V hull, and versatile layout, this vessel bridges the gap between serious offshore fishing and comfortable family day cruising.

She has been re-powered with dependable twin 2006 Yamaha F150 four-stroke outboards showing approximately 750 well-maintained hours, delivering the ideal balance of cruise efficiency, hole-shot power, and twin-engine redundancy. Outfitted with an upgraded custom hardtop, Garmin touchscreen electronics, and a premium Fusion marine audio system, she is turnkey and ready for the water.

Broker Remarks

The Boston Whaler 23 Conquest remains one of the most sought-after dual-purpose walkarounds on the market due to its trailerable 8'6" beam, safe high-cockpit freeboard, and unsinkable peace of mind. The upgrade to twin Yamaha F150s eliminates the smoke and noise of original two-strokes while providing bulletproof reliability and outstanding range.
