Post 50’ Convertible Recent price reduction July 25 The 50’ Post is widely respected among serious anglers and cruising families alike for its timeless lines, exceptional sea-keeping ability, and quality craftsmanship. Built during one of Post’s most celebrated production eras, the 50 delivers the ride, balance, and fishability that have made the brand a staple on the tournament circuit and offshore grounds. Powered by low-hour MAN 820 hp diesels, this 1999 Post 50 offers strong performance, efficient cruising, and the dependable offshore capability that experienced captains demand. The hull’s deep forefoot and wide beam provide a confident, dry ride whether running to the canyons or cruising the coast. The three-stateroom, two-head layout is thoughtfully designed for both fishing trips and extended cruising. The galley-up configuration keeps the salon open and social, while large windows provide excellent natural light and panoramic views. Quality joinery, generous storage, and comfortable accommodations make this yacht equally suited for entertaining or multi-day offshore adventures. Outside, the large cockpit is built for serious sportfishing with ample working room, excellent access around the fighting chair, and clean deck flow for anglers and crew. The full tower and flybridge provide outstanding visibility when searching for fish or running offshore, while the bridge layout offers comfortable seating and excellent helm ergonomics. This vessel has been recently painted, presenting beautifully and reflecting the pride of ownership that experienced buyers look for.

This arrangement is particularly favored by owners who cruise with guests or fish offshore for extended trips. Upon descending from the salon, the master stateroom is located aft to starboard, featuring a walk-around queen berth, generous hanging lockers, and excellent storage throughout. The cabin benefits from its midship location, which typically provides a quieter and more comfortable sleeping area while underway. The private ensuite head and separate shower make the master feel more like a true owner’s suite. Forward stateroom, equipped with a comfortable over/under berths, hanging locker, and access to the shared guest/day head. Port stateroom, configured with upper and lower berths, making it ideal for children, crew, or additional guests. This three-stateroom, two-head layout allows the Post 50 to comfortably accommodate six guests, while maintaining the open design that makes these boats so enjoyable for entertaining and extended cruising. Many experienced buyers specifically seek out the Plan B configuration for its improved privacy, practical use of space, and more comfortable owner accommodations. Manufacturer's Description The Post 50 bristles with an elegant interior that easily competes with any motor- yacht in accommodations and comfort. When Post began building in 1957, the boats were hand built from wood. Though the hull and topsides are now constructed of low mainte- nance fiberglass, the yacht’s inte- rior remains flavored with hand-fitted joinery that is the finest in the industry, widely imitated yet rarely challenged. Discover The Difference  Rather than employ modular construction that is popular today with many yacht manufacturers, the Post 50 is stick-built, one piece at a time, one yacht at a time. It takes longer to build a yacht this way, but the resulting quality is evident. Into its brawny hull that features a hand- laid solid glass bottom, stringers and foam- cored sides, the bulkheads and cabinetry are individually fitted, to guarantee a perfect fit that ensures integrity and strength for the life of the yacht. You can feel these attrib- utes every time you open and close a drawer, hatch or door. Refined To Perfection  The salon makes good use of the Fifty’s 16’11” beam, creating a living room atmosphere with an L-shaped lounge that converts to a sleeper and an L-shaped settee with stowage below. The dinette is a gorgeous piece of varnished teak. Rounded edges on the furniture are seakindly, and the joinery can be ordered with either satin or gloss finish Built For Speed Excellent Resale Value Powerful freshwater-cooled, turbo-charged diesels put the Post 50 on plane at 1200 rpm, an indication of her slippery and efficient running surface. Standard hydraulic steering provides excellent response. But, you can also order a power assist that delivers finger touch control and sports car handling. Built To Endure Hand-laid construction includes a solid keel, chines and bottom. Above the waterline, the 50's hull is Divinycell-cored, while vinylester resins are used in the first two hull layers to prevent blistering and osmosis. Isophthalic gel coat gives her a deep gloss finish that will stand up to the tough marine environment. The flying bridge is designed around a low profile, centerline helm that provides superb 3600 visibility for spotting tailing billfish, backing down on a fish or into a tight slip. Navigation equipment fits neatly into flush installations. A generous panel located behind the forward lounge seat provides easy access to console wiring and mechanical equipment. Tournament Ready The 50’s cockpit is the largest in its class, and features every amenity a tournament champion needs to fill the outriggers with release flags. The 11’6” long cockpit is fitted with durable non-slip, and anchors the biggest fighting chair with ease thanks to reinforced solid-mahogany laminated into the fiberglass sole. Built-in molded consoles provide more than adequate stowage for gear and tackle. A top loading freezer cabinet is located starboard. The extended bridge overhang shades the cockpit while providing safe and easy access to the helm. Engine Room Accessed through the cockpit, the 50’s engine room is another example of Post’s astute engineering. Gel coated for easy care, the entire work area is brightly illuminated with dual-voltage lighting. All machinery installations were designed for trouble-free service and easy maintenance–whether replacing a fuel filter or changing oil in the engines or 15kW generator. The listed specifications include 3 cabins, 2 heads, and 1640 hp of total engine power.
