46' (14.02 m) 46 SF - PERFECTLY FRANK
1982 Post 46' Sportfish
Flag of Registry: United States
Description
This 1982 Post 46 Sport Fisherman, the PERFECTLY FRANK, is a superb example of the very popular "46" SF series. The Post 46 was designed by Russell Post and produced by POST MARINE of Mays Landing, NJ from 1978 through 1996. She's hull #048 of the "46" production and is powered by twin DETROIT DIESEL - JOHNSON & TOWERS 6-71 TI's that are rated at 450 HP.
The PERFECTLY FRANK was purchased by this Owner in 1997 and is only a "two-Owner boat". Her DD J&T 6-71 TI's were rebuilt in 2012 and there have been only about 365 hours logged on them to date since their rebuilds! She's had continuous upgrades to her systems and decor over the past 25 years by this very knowledgeable Owner. These include, but are not limited to, all the details as presented in the Listing itself.
In addition to all her other improvements, the custom fiberglass swim platform added after the present Owner's purchase in 1997. You'll note the removal of the forward windshield and the installation of the custom furniture below as well as the fiberglass fascia sections that replaced the glass. The fairing work is smooth with no indentations that would be indicative of the old windshield as built. The look and execution is very similar to the newer Post 46 that were produced from 1988 onwards. The end result is "no leaks"!
The PERFECTLY FRANK is now in full commission at her slip in New Rochelle, NY. She can be easily be boarded and viewed. She's a uniquely "good boat" and appointments are encouraged to view and and consider this classic POST 45, the PERFECTLY FRANK.
