43 Sport Fisherman

The Post 43 is an updated version of the classic Post 42 Sport Fisherman (1975–83) with a revised interior and a slightly larger cockpit. Introduced in 1984, she rides on a low-deadrise, semi-V hull with a deeper forefoot than the 42 as well as a second spray rail and increased transom deadrise—changes that contribute to improved headsea performance and a measurably improved ride. Below, her two-stateroom layout is a blend of traditional teak woodwork, quality furnishings, and designer fabrics. A centerline pedestal berth dominates the forward stateroom, while the guest stateroom is arranged with stacked single berths. The galley is down, across from the guest cabin, and the salon includes an L-shaped convertible settee and a full teak entertainment center forward. Topside, a molded tackle center (which serves as a base for the bridge ladder), in-deck fish boxes, and transom door were standard in the cockpit. Note that the Post 43 III—introduced in 1989—included several standard equipment updates. Twin 485hp 6-71s cruise the Post 43 in the mid 20s with a top speed of 27–28 knots. Optional 550hp 6V92s cruise in the high 20s and reach a top speed around 30 knots.
