Need info on Post 42 sportfish.

I'm purchasing a 1982 42 Post Convertible. It's one of only 2 that came with 500HP 6V92 Detroits. Can anyone tell me how their experience has been with either the boat or the engine? Also, how do I find out about the owner get-togethers or any owner's association?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Blueboat,

Welcome aboard! We've got several Post owners on YachtForums. You'll find a few of their screen names under the "Post Owner's Rendezvous" thread, located under this category. Hopefully a couple of them will see this thread and address your questions. You can also contact them via our Private Message system.

Hi blueboat
My Post as well as all others have only one issue. In a following or quartering sea, they tend to bow steer quite a bit. Your new boat has much more power than the others so it may help get the bow up & over the waves a bit. Other than that, the 42 is a great boat!
