Project: Luhrs 37 Open

Luhrs continues on its course to introduce ever-improving sport fishing boats, and now upgrades the range with a new upcoming model, the 37 Open scheduled for its first appearance in Fort Lauderdale. With a length of over 11 metres and weighing in at 13 t, the 37 Open leaps ahead in the market with innovative improvements and an intelligent rugged design. The 37 Open features a sharp entry hull, wide Carolina flare, and custom-style stern tumble home. The cockpit is open, spacious and has many thoughtful design elements. The bridge deck seats 8 and an optional bridge deck air conditioning is available. To port lies a huge tackle, dive tank stowage area that runs for nearly 10 feet with 4 feet of depth. To starboard is an available summer galley equipped with a gas grill, stainless sink, and refrigerator freezer. Astern, the transom sports a removable insulated cooler seat. Below, the 37 Open features the first ever guest stateroom in an open fish boat under 40 feet. This full size aft stateroom, which features dual single berths, is paired with a standard aft bonus utility room that can easily be upgraded to a guest head. All this extra room comes courtesy of the standard Volvo IPS diesel power. Forward, the main salon and galley are roomy yet functional, with designer touches such as curved cherry cabinetry, Mannington laminate wood floors, and Karadon solid surfaces that have the look and feel of granite. The forward berth is outfitted with a center line queen island bed that folds to provide additional salon seating. Storage is plentiful throughout. A professional interior designer was retained to create an upscale interior utilizing custom fabrics throughout the spacious area. When its comes to power, Volvos 500 IPS system is offered for the latest in advanced propulsion, giving you better fuel economy with less noise and exhaust than comparable traditional inboards. Fishing features that are expensive options on most boats are also standard on the 37 Open, including a tower, bait prep centers with live well and tackle storage, fresh and saltwater wash downs, and even the rod holders. With the 37 Open, Luhrs introduces a custom-styled fish boat at a production boat price. The new Luhrs will also be available with a triple Yamaha 350 hp outboard option, aimed at those who want to go at impressive speeds.
