    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 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)

      Yes you could basically treat it as a tender and a lifeboat to a larger yacht.

    The larger Boston Whalers are excellent boats. I was never was a big fan of their smaller boats bc you always got soaking wet in them no matter how much you tried to stay dry. Of all the major brands, especially American, I’d say they’re probably the best choice if you’re buying it for work/business or you have a major fishing hobby. If you’re after more luxurious boating I’d go in another direction.

    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!

    • @BoatLife_DansBoatLife
      @BoatLife_DansBoatLife  2 місяці тому

      I think one of the main advantages or differences to consider is the much higher speed potential and the convenience the joystick can provide for holding station around the dock etc. I’m seeing many guys who are conditioned to much higher cruise speeds and therefore they are happier with outboards. But fully understand your point too that diesels will also suit a majority of blokes in this size

      @trogdortheburninator8149 2 місяці тому

      @@BoatLife_DansBoatLife i suppose it also depends on the diesel, something like a Viking isn’t going to be much slower on a flat day and probably faster on a normal offshore day. And once you’re at 3m it’s not much for for a smaller Viking. Though point taken about helm master or equivalents and general convenience for handling!

    The Whaler won’t “go down or you” which explains its relatively low prices as opposed to the Phuket

    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 👍

      @BoatLife_DansBoatLife  2 місяці тому

      Yes good point… but the Wellcraft is considerably smaller in all dimensions. Check out my video and you’ll see how much less space I have on the Wellcraft. I suspect this will compete more fairly with some of the big Grady Whites I hope to view next month in Florida. Riviera yes and a wonderful boat but almost half the top speed so this may be a consideration for some guys who wish to run fast out to their spots…? Who doesn’t love talking boats hey!

    Nice boat but seems really "over packed" with gadgets that in reality you wouldn't use and adds to a cramped interior imho. Could probably have a striped down version bringing the 3 Mil AUD price back to justify the fuel burn.

      Yeah I can see people using this boat for entertaining and water sports without fishing so this could also be a good idea for some. Just need to consider future resale when you strip a boat down in case you’ll be competing with high spec boats
