The 1995 Luhrs 32 Tournament, with its classic sportfishing profile, remains a popular choice on the pre-owned market for anglers and cruising enthusiasts alike. This model is a testament to Luhrs's commitment to building solid, functional, and affordable boats that get the job done without unnecessary frills.
Overview:
The Luhrs 32 Tournament is a mid-sized flybridge sportfisherman designed for serious fishing but with enough creature comforts to double as a capable family cruiser. Built on a modified V-hull, it offers a good balance of stability and performance. The layout is practical and well-thought-out, maximizing both deck and interior space. For a boat of its age, a well-maintained example can still be a fantastic value proposition.
Exterior & Deck:
- Hull & Deck: The hull is a solid fiberglass layup, which is a significant plus for durability.
- Cockpit: The cockpit is the star of the show. It's a key selling point for this model, offering an expansive and open space that is excellent for fishing.
- Flybridge: The flybridge is a well-laid-out helm station. The helm seat is centrally located, providing good visibility both forward and aft to the cockpit.
Interior & Accommodations:
- Layout: The cabin is accessed via a sliding door from the cockpit. The layout is surprisingly roomy for a 32-foot boat. It's a simple, functional design.
- Salon: The salon features a convertible dinette to port and a sofa to starboard. The interior joinery is a mix of teak and teak-veneer.
- Galley: The galley is down and to port. It's a simple setup with a sink, a two-burner electric stove, a microwave, and a small refrigerator.
- Forward Stateroom: The forward stateroom features a V-berth, which can comfortably sleep two adults. Storage is available in lockers and under-bunk compartments.
Mechanical & Performance:
- Performance: With twin engines, the boat has a comfortable cruising speed of around 20-22 knots and a top speed in the high 20s. The modified V-hull provides a decent ride in a chop.
