This 2006 Luhrs 28 Express is a deep-V sportfishing boat built on proven fundamentals. Twin Yanmar diesel engines deliver 480 horsepower, and the hull's wide beam and practical layout make her equally capable for offshore fishing expeditions or coastal cruising. The open cockpit offers generous space for gear and work, while a factory-installed tower with dual spreader outriggers provides excellent visibility and fishing capability.
Below deck, the cabin accommodates up to four with a convertible V-berth, additional bunk berths, air conditioning, and a separate enclosed head. The galley includes a microwave, induction cooktop, and newer refrigeration, along with hot water heating. Fresh and salt water washdowns, custom live bait tanks on both port and starboard with circulation pump, and a fish box in the covering board round out the fishing-focused design.
The electronics suite features a Raymarine C-120 system with chartplotter, GPS, and radar, plus a newer Furuno fish finder with 1000-watt transducer. Navigation and autopilot systems include the Raymarine ST6002 autopilot with 2024 motor replacement, VHF radio with tower remote, and depth sounder with TriData display. Steering and throttle controls are mounted at the tower.
Recent maintenance in 2024 included fresh bottom paint, new shaft seals, and bronze propellers. Bennett trim tabs assist maneuverability, and an upgraded windlass with larger anchor and 100 feet of chain support ground tackle. A next-generation diesel generator, 300-gallon fuel capacity, and 55-gallon water tanks support extended operations. Rod storage throughout the boat includes six flush-mounted holders, eight aluminum holders, and overhead racks in the salon.
