1998 Luhrs Open Express in Long Island, NY

SELLER DESCRIPTION

If you are in the market for a late model open fisherman - look no further. Luhrs offers the inshore and offshore angler all the fishbusting and wave piercing ability of the most expensive bluewater boats in a refined and value packed vessel that is also attractive for cruisers looking for a seaworthy and comfortable open design. Functional, simple, and beautiful are appropriate adjectives for this unique design. Her primary helm is on centerline on an expansive bridgedeck covered by a factory hardtop and surrounded by a full enclosure in excellent condition. The huge cockpit will accomodate serious anglers as well as allowing room to stretch for a crowd when entertaining. A second helm station is on the half tower. The knowledgeable owner has even commissioned the services of a professional marine carpenter to install a stunning custom teak and holly cabin sole. The cabin benefits from a huge 13'beam and offers the cruising family room below in abundance. Among the 32 Opens available for sale on the east coast market - this particular vessel must be the most clean and turnkey. If owning the best in class is important to you - please examine the attached full spec inventory and make an appointment to see her.

Accomodations:
Of immediate note on entry into the cabin is the stunning custom teak and holly cabin sole. Installed in 2003 by a master craftsman it outclasses all other 32 Opens on the market currently. With the classic contrast of navy upholstery and white on white exterior gelcoat this excellent production boat is brought to an understated but undeniably superior level. The cabin sleeps 5 with a V-Berth/Dinette Forward, a Convertible Settee which converts to a double berth with a hinged backrest that converts to an upper pilot berth. Teak woodwork is effectively matched against Corian and fiberglass surfaces for easy care. Two cedar closets provide lots of storage space. A full fiberglass head with shower is to port aft.

Galley:
The galley is to port and is sufficient for meal preparation whether in the marina or on the run. Items include a deep sink with solid surface easy care countertop, microwave oven, Seward Dual Burner Electric Stove, and a midsized NovaKool R3800 Refrigerator/Freezer.

Electonics and Navigational Gear:
