CONQUEST: Helm AC and Deck Refrigerator

Postby Dynamoamps » Tue Jun 28, 2016 12:00 pm

To anyone with or experienced with enclosed-integrated-hard-top-and-windshield offshore fishing boats, such as Boston Whaler Conquest, non-pilot with motorized air vent door in the windshield, and semi open side windows allowing air flow:

--is the helm air conditioning worth [the cost of that option]?

--how often do you use [helm air conditioning]?

To anyone:

--do you use glass weather curtains while fishing?

For non-cruising-type offshore-anglers who only fish in ideal conditions:

--are glass weather curtains worth [their costs]?

To any fisherman who carry a large Yeti-type cooler on deck and have a cockpit or deck refrigerator (in addition to the refrigerator unit in the cabin galley):

--is there any use for [the cooler/cockpit refrigerator/deck refrigerator]?

--what do you put in [the cooler/cockpit refrigerator/deck refrigerator]?

--is [the cooler/cockpit refrigerator/deck refrigerator] worth having?

--or would space be better used for storage of cast net bucket (Conquest)?


I've found other Boston Whaler options to be worthless:

--an open non-cover integrated Kenyon grill that cost on average $5000 when you can buy a larger rod holder mount grill with a top cover lid for less than $500;

--a 12-Volt 22" LED TV/DVD that cost $2,800 with boat or you can order on Amazon for $300; and,

--$3,000 for a comforter set package with two pillow, fitted sheets, and curtain I can buy much nicer for less than $100 and have custom tailored.

Could you give the contact information for the vendor that sells the custom fitted sheets, pillows, and curtains all for much less than $100. I would like to get some made for my boat.
