2000 Post 42 Convertible: Rigged and Ready for the Canyons
The owner is moving up in size, so this carefully maintained Post 42 is available. Service is documented in binders, and the work has been done in recent years instead of left for the next owner: new Gatorstep cockpit flooring and a professionally refreshed interior in 2026, plus Humphree interceptor tabs, underwater lights, and a new head and hot water heater in 2025.
She’s set up for offshore work. Twin Volvo 480hp diesels (about 2,600 hours) cruise at 24-25 knots and reach 30 at wide open. The helm has Garmin 15" and 12" XSV displays, open array radar, FLIR night vision, Starlink, and a dedicated engine room camera. The cockpit has a teak 4-rod rocket launcher, teaser reels, deep drop and dredge plugs, and Black Oak lighting, so you can load tackle and go.
Two staterooms, one head, and a comfortable salon with newer smart TVs make her easy to live with after a long day offshore.
Recent Upgrades:
2026: professionally installed interior wall coverings, Gatorstep cockpit flooring
2025: Humphree interceptor tabs, Raritan fresh water head, new hot water heater, Lumitec underwater lights
2024: JL Audio system (cockpit and bridge), Black Oak lighting package (under-gunwale, cockpit flood lights, light bar)
This one has been well kept and updated for the work, so she’s ready to fish.
