Owner Experience Review
Owners who run the ConvertiblebyPOSTtend to use it hard offshore for tournament-style fishing, citing a fishing-first cockpit and gear suited to serious work. At the same time, it pulls double duty on family weekends: the salon and galley layouts get steady praise for hosting guests when the rods are stowed, and some examples have seen light day-charter or delivery use after electronics and systems updates.
On the water, the boat delivers a stout, dependable feel with a comfortable, stable cruise rather than headline top speed. Owners of older 42’/46’ examples report a tendency to bow-steer in following or quartering seas; they mitigate it with trim tabs and measured adjustments to course and speed.
Life aboard reflects traditional POSTcraftsmanship: a roomy salon for guests, a practical galley, and an engine room with generous access that makes routine service comparatively straightforward. Forward accommodations are functional but not apartment-sized on earlier layouts. Expect aging systems on many boats—electrical and controls work is common, original schematics are often sought, and limited-production components can push repair costs higher than casual buyers anticipate.
Pros and Cons
- Fishing-first cockpit and gear suit serious offshore sportfishing.
- Roomy salon and practical galley make weekend entertaining easy.
- Generous engine-room access simplifies routine service.
- Cruise and top-end speeds are moderate, not among the fastest convertibles.
- Older 42'/46' boats can bow-steer in following or quartering seas and demand attentive trim and speed management.
- Aging systems and limited-production components can raise service and repair costs.
