1977 Chrysler Boats CONQUERER

This is a vintage performance-oriented fiberglass boat from Chrysler's short-lived boat-building era. The particular 1977 example I found is in Erskine, Alberta, and is advertised as being in excellent condition with its original 105-hp Chrysler outboard. The asking price is $8,398.95 CAD all-in.

The "105" refers to the 105-hp Chrysler outboard, rather than the boat being a 105-foot or 10.5-foot model. Enthusiast sources specifically identify the model as the Conquerer 105. SScream And Fly

Specs

Exact factory specifications for the 1977 Conquerer 105 are surprisingly difficult to verify, so I'd be cautious about relying on online numbers. For the boat you're looking at, the confirmed basics are:

• Year: 1977
• Make: Chrysler
• Model: Conquerer 105
• Hull: Fiberglass
• Engine: Original Chrysler 105-hp outboard
• Engine configuration: Single outboard
• Style: Vintage performance/runabout
• Colour: White/red on the advertised boat
• Condition: Advertised as excellent
• Location: Erskine, Alberta
• Current asking price: $8,398.95 CAD, all fees included 

I wouldn't give you a precise length, beam, weight or fuel capacity without a period Chrysler brochure/spec sheet, because I can't find sufficiently reliable documentation for those figures.

Overview

This is not really comparable to the Lund 1775 or Crestliner 1850 as a practical modern fishing boat.

The Conquerer is much more of a vintage recreational/performance boat. The 105-hp Chrysler outboard would have been a fairly serious powerplant for a small fiberglass boat in the late 1970s.

Its appeal today is partly the boating experience and partly the vintage character. There is a genuine enthusiast following for Chrysler boats and motors; owners still discuss models such as the Conquerer 105 and Conquerer 140s specifically as collectible vintage Chrysler boats.

 

The ideal buyer is someone who says:

"I want an interesting old boat that I can actually use and enjoy—not necessarily the newest or most practical boat."

I'd particularly recommend it to:

• A vintage boat enthusiast
• Someone who appreciates Chrysler marine history
• A mechanically inclined owner
• Someone with another boat for serious fishing/family use
• Someone who enjoys restoring and maintaining older equipment
• A buyer who values uniqueness over modern convenience
