Luhrs Unveils A Breakthrough Midsize Convertible

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL (July 2007) — Before ever hitting the drafting table, Luhrs proactively polled sportfishing enthusiasts, customers and dealers on what features and amenities they would most like in a midsize convertible. With decades of experience in successfully building desirable sportfishing boats, Luhrs then assigned its veteran team of marine architects, designers and engineers to assimilate the suggestions and create a midsize convertible of incredible value.

The all-new Luhrs 35 Convertible is a unique combination of awesome fishing prowess, speed, safety and comfort. With an overall length of 38’10” (35’8” less pulpit) and an enormous beam of 14’6”, the Luhrs 35 Convertible is big and roomy with an 84-square foot cockpit at the business end, and room to sleep six inside.

The Luhrs 35 Convertible is a fish-fighting machine that features two in-deck insulated fishboxes with macerator pumps, an additional fishbox in the coaming, a complete bait prep-center with locking tackle-drawers, built-in livewell, and sink. The cockpit also sports a 30-gallon livewell with high capacity pump molded into the transom.

The flybridge easily accommodates six adults and is an excellent platform for spotting fish activity. The bridge helm is located aft to give the operator clear visibility to the cockpit action. The exclusive Luhrs BridgeWalk™ (molded-in stairway) makes access to the flybridge easy and secure. Combine these bridge features with the standard twin 380 horsepower diesels and Glendinning electronic controls, and the Luhrs 35 Convertible runs and handles like a dream. Add the optional twin 440 or 480 horsepower diesel engines and she practically flies to the bite.

For those who enjoy the simple pleasures of cruising as well as fishing offshore, the Luhrs 35 Convertible can be delivered with a cruise option that features large windows in the forward cabin. This option creates an open airy feel to the main salon with a tremendous view forward.

Inside the cabin, the generous beam makes accommodations exceptionally spacious for a boat of this size. The main salon offers 6’4” headroom, a full-sized sleeper sofa, 26" flat screen TV and Bose stereo system. The fully equipped portside galley is set up to prepare an easy meal while fishing or a full-course sumptuous seafood feast after the catch. The master stateroom has a double berth with two large drawers beneath, while the guest stateroom offers a large berth that can accommodate two. Both staterooms have plenty of storage including cedar-lined hanging lockers. A full-sized head with vanity sink and a separately enclosed shower rounds out the easy-living package.

“Historically there has been a disconnect between what the manufacturers are offering in a midsize range and what the marketplace has demanded – a midsized boat and price with all the fishing and cruising features of full-sized convertibles. The new Luhrs 35 Convertible clearly meets and exceeds the expectations the marketplace,” said David Taylor, director of sales and marketing.
