Is the Boston Whaler 405 Conquest a PERFECT Downsizer?

Big, comfortable, safe and remarkably easy to operate by yourself are the takes aways I took from a day onboard this Boston Whaler 405 Conquest. When you add the latest power option it then becomes a seriously great boat for a unique selection of boaters.

The bigger counter rotational props and gears on the V12's are very noticable when powering this boat onto the plane. She's also a perfect match for joystick operation providing some of the most straightforward and simple operation i've experienced via joystick on outboards which I think may be down to the width between the two outer motors providing greater leverage and therefore control.

But it doesn't end there as the space utilization and quality of fit and finish below decks and even into the bilge is true Boston quality.

You do need to learn how to trim her correctly however and you'll see me discovering this in the test drive video along with plenty of other interesting features and performance details.

I hope this is useful,

Enjoy!

Probably the best detailed presentation for a Boston whaler 405 conquest. I don't think there's a better boat out there. This has everything you would ever want, or need. I would love to be able to afford this boat, my sons become quite a fisherman, he would love this boat for his family. thank you

I need to downsize from my kayak. This should do

[dangrant]

Boston Whaler are amazing. Smashed it Dan.

[roarksjuror]

Very nice boat and a surprising amount of room downstairs.

[leadreviewer]

I agree to me this is the perfect boat and also the safest in terms of it not sinking
(others may claim their boat wont sink but thats with the boat submerged and 3' of the nose sticking above water, a boston whaler does not sink)

Oh I wish I could downsize from my dinghy to this boat😂

[mattbromhead]

Great boat - love Bostons. I want to be friends with someone who's downsizing to an AUD$3m runabout!! Another 1st rate review, Dan.

[fabpoltronieri]

What a fantastic project. Tks for the video. Greetings from Zurich.

[scottdynek]

A regular "Swiss Army Knife" of a boat!!!

[Nezzer]

Great review as per, Dan.
Very functional, useful boat indeed.
Not a pretty boat though, Boston's aren't, if that's important to you... 👍

[stimsingh]

please review Galeon 435gto and compare to 405 conquest... thanks. great videos and appreciate the true sea trials.

[deanrwilson]

Just shy of $3, 000, 000 apparently via Boatsales. Out of my price range but a WOW of a boat.!

[travis]

While this looks to be a very functional & competent boat, you could buy 3 x Wellcraft 355s or a Riviera 50 SMY for this money. For me the price doesn't stack up.
Great content though Dan, loved the review. Thanks for getting us talking about boats 👍

[marcianmoon]

for 3$mln AUD you can get 2 Nordhavn41s, or 2 of Merry Fisher 1295, while it looks nice, dont think there is value

Great Video! If you like this boat check out the 477 evolution from Intrepid you will really love that!

[joakimsundberg]

A pair of big diesels must be a good option ? I think If a 40ft boat needs more than two 600hp outboards it must be way to heavy.. Anyway I enjoy your videos a lot !

[decencywarrior]

Ideal -and made in the USA . I wonder if deisel ob's are an option?

[dougharlow]

How much is the trailer “pin” weight on the Boston Whaler 405 conquest with the triple 600 Mercury’s with full fuel, water, etc. Thanks

[trogdortheburninator]

I reckon the 32 - 34 foot range is ideal for an outboard boat, this is a bit silly versus a diesel of comparable size. Plus it’s quite expensive. Plus I’d take a Grady!

[SirAdamMeek]

With the hard aft enclosure, this would make an excellent live-aboard for the Great Loop!
