Post Yachts presents its new web showroom.  Founded in 1957 by Russel Post, who previously to this formed Egg Harbor at the age of 16.  The first Post model was a 34 Sport Fisherman.  In 1975 Post was sold to Charlie Walters and Bill Schell.  A note here is that at the age of seventeen Charlie Walters was Post Yachts second employee, who was with the company since its founding in 1957.  In the past December Post Marine Group LLC purchased all assets of Post Marine Co.

Project: Post 42 Open

Its a new era for Post who are presenting three important new projects. The Post 42 Open, is the first express sportfish model offered by the 1957 founded boat builder.  This new project  is built to showcase the new era of Post Yachts since a couple of years also located in Maryland, out from New Jersey and by the specification on the web site seems to be based on the hull of the standard flybridge convertible 42. The 42 Open will be the first Post to also be offered with pod drive propulsion, a center console style bridge deck, and functional interior layout options that utilize all available interior space. So far no layout details are shown of the new 42 Open, but Post do have a fame for offering comfortable and well laid interior layouts, without loosing touch of the fishing abilities served by its cruisers and yachts.
