The 2004 Luhrs 38 Open is a rugged sportfish built around serious fishing capability. The hull design combines a wide beam, Carolina flare, and sharp entry to cut through water cleanly and dry. A low center of gravity enhances stability both in heavy seas and while trolling. Twin Cummins diesel engines producing 900 horsepower deliver cruising speeds around 23 knots and a top end near 28 knots.
The raised helm console is centered for visibility and control, with a full tuna tower equipped with its own instrumentation, seating, and shade. The cockpit is purpose-built for fishing: a custom live well sits centerline, flanked by rod and gaff holders and a high-capacity pump. A large in-floor fish box and two raised boxes provide ample storage for the catch. Air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable during long days on the water.
Below deck, the accommodations balance fishing with family comfort. A double berth with an inner-spring mattress is forward, while a fully-lined head features a separate shower stall. The settee and dinette convert to sleeping quarters—a lower double and upper single—offering flexibility for crew and guests. The galley includes a range, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, and substantial storage space, with Corian countertops throughout.
