2008 Luhrs 41 Open

Typical Carolina Flared bow that virtually parts the ocean, with minimal spray reaching the windshield. This hull design basically cuts the waves in two allowing you to maintain cruise speed in most conditions. With the horsepower on board she is nimble on her feet and very reactive in close quarters, making her a breeze to berth. The engines are sitting on a 10mm steel frame that is securely mounted to the hull, there is no way these engines can move anywhere. Check out the photo’s. There is nothing built like this in Australia. Everything is over engineered.

She is powered by a pair QSM 11 Cummins producing 645 hp a side, thru a pair of ZF gear boxes driving a 2" shaft spinning 5 blade props.
