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.
