The 1999 Luhrs 38 Convertible is a fiberglass sportfish built to proven designs. Twin Caterpillar diesel engines produce 840 horsepower, delivering cruising speeds around 22 knots and a top speed of 28 knots. The Carolina flare hull and generous 13-foot beam create a stable, dry ride in offshore conditions. The boat carries a half-tower with standard mounting pads for radar and antennas, and the command bridge provides ample space for electronics, seating, and storage, plus a portable cooler.
Belowdecks, the two-cabin layout maximizes the beam to create an open feel while maintaining privacy. The accommodations include a spacious salon, two staterooms, and a galley positioned up. The single head features a separate shower enclosure. Fishing gear is well integrated, with tackle drawers, livewell, washdown system, sink, and fishboxes all included as standard features.
Standard amenities on the boat include reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating, plus an 8-kilowatt diesel generator for independent power. The design reflects Luhrs' reputation for economical operation and straightforward maintenance. Recent extensive servicing and upgrades throughout the boat are documented in the history.
