The Boat (Rodwrestler )
 
1977 42 ft Post with a complete retrofit in 2021

This boat has been designed around fishing the Great Lakes Salmon Fishery while perfecting the ideal layout for chartering to a client base that has been built over 40 years of operation. Post Yachts were manufactured in New Jersey building a highly reputable Custom Sportfish. The boat has been in fresg water on the Great Lakes since early 80,s  I’ve run the boat since 2006, taking full advantage of the opportunities offered by this large vessel. Over the years, I’ve realized the interest and demand for an open, express style boat and decided to design the perfect charter boat. We took on the undertaking with Aperoacho boats who is highly  reputable for custom projects like this.
