Post is recognized as one of the best tournament boats because the Jersey style flared bow created a dry comfortable ride with quick lift. The 43 was a modernized version of the classic 42. In 1989 significant changes were made to the 43's hull. A steeper forefoot and a slight increase in the transom deadrise on top of adding a second spray rail, improved head-sea performance, easier seakeeping and a notably better ride. The new 43 II also made the optional solid front windshield standard. The new design also included a molded in tackle center (with integrated steps for the bridge ladder), a new more open layout for the bridge and increased fuel capacity. M/V Inevitable is a clean 43 II and is easy to recognize from afar with a light seafoam green hull (the underside of the hardtop is as well). She is ready to simply cruise or fish with new oil and fuel filters. She has Rupp Tournament Double Outriggers w/ Center Rigger, In floor Fish Boxes, Icey Tek Coffin Box, Aft Spreader Light, Aft Deck Bait Freezer and Tackle Center. She also has plenty of rod holders-- (8) gunnel rod holders, (6) Pilaster mounts (16) Rocket Launcher style mounts. There is 125 square foot of Cockpit space inside the generous beam with a high freeboard. The inside is as clean as pictured with enough storage for a liveaboard.
