1988 Post Sport Fisherman

Step aboard and you’ll feel the solid, old-school build that made these Post convertibles so respected offshore. The wide beam gives you a stable platform trolling in a beam sea, and there’s enough freeboard in the cockpit to keep crew comfortable when it gets lumpy. Inside, the salon windows flood the space with natural light, and the galley-up layout keeps the cook part of the conversation while you’re rigging baits or watching the spread. Engine access is straightforward for a boat this vintage, so regular checks underway are simple rather than a chore. It’s the kind of layout that works just as well for a long weekend with family as it does for a serious canyon run.

This 46 Post Sport Fisherman really shines in waters where you might run a long way to the grounds, then stay out through changing conditions. The hull has the heft to shoulder aside afternoon chop, while the generous cockpit makes it easy to work multiple rods, set a fighting chair, or stage a couple of stand-up harnesses. With two staterooms and two heads, you can comfortably host another couple or a pair of fishing buddies without feeling cramped. The elevated salon and galley let you keep an eye on weather and traffic while laying out charts or planning the next tide window, making it a capable home base for extended cruising and serious offshore fishing alike.
