50' Post 50 1998

Vessel Walk Through

Entering the back deck made easy with the factory installed fiberglass swim platform then thru the tuna door, to the very large cockpit, with tackle station, mezzanine sink, fish boxes, and engine room access make the boat as practical as she is good looking. The engine room is accessed from an aft hatch where the two main Detroit Diesels and the primary generator are located. The salon door is to starboard with a boarding ladder to the flybridge off-center to port. A 4 sided EZ2C enclosure protects two Stidd helm seats behind a starboard center helm pod with bench seating to port and forward. 

  From the cockpit, two steps lead into the salon of the vessel. Natural woods and rugged tan carpeting make for a durable and comfortable interior. An L-shaped sofa to port is set directly across from a swiveling barrel chair to starboard. Just forward of that, a large flatscreen TV sits above a U-shaped dinette sofa and table. The mid-level galley is situated down a step to port. The galley boasts a full-size Fisher& Paykel fridge and freezer, Glass cooktop, sink, and storage throughout. The two guest staterooms are located to port and starboard below the salon and just forward of the galley. Each stateroom features two twin bunks with plenty of storage. The day head serves the two guest staterooms on the starboard side of the vessel. The master stateroom is an island-style queen berth with a hanging locker to port and a private head with stand-alone shower.

50’ Post History

A great-selling boat with over 100 delivered, the Post 50 combines the elegance of a yacht-style interior with the brute force of a well-bred offshore fishing machine. She’s built on a low-deadrise modified-V hull with cored hull sides, a wide beam, and a solid glass bottom. Unlike other Post designs, the 50’s hull is not tapered at the transom that helps account for her very large cockpit. Several three-stateroom, two-head floorplans were offered over the years. Like all Post models, the interior woodwork and detailing are finished to high standards. The cockpit—nearly 150 square feet in size—comes with a full array of fishing gear including a molded tackle center, transom door, and direct access to the engine room (where headroom was dramatically improved in 1995 when the fuel tanks were moved aft). Note that in 1997 the flybridge was widened to the full width of the deckhouse. With the Detroit diesel’s 735hp 8V92s cruise in the high 20s (30+ knots wide open),
