Description

"Second Chance" a 1986 Post 46 is a two-owner boat that has had great care by both dedicated owners. She has the classic lines of a blue water fishing boat, but her design features make her economical to operate both in hull form and engines. Her aft section is tapering fairly strongly at the stern with a pronounced vertical flare at the sides. A wide boat designed for a narrow water line and low wetted surface area. She's stable in a following sea. If Post is notable for anything, it is that they have achieved the right mix of quality and economy.
