Expertly maintained and fully updated, this 1999 Luhrs 28 Open offers a rare opportunity to own a sport fishing classic that has undergone a comprehensive refit between 2020 and 2023. With documented maintenance and upgraded mechanics, this fiberglass vessel is currently lying in Italy and represents a turn-key solution for serious anglers and coastal cruisers.
The propulsion system consists of twin Yanmar 270hp engines, which were rebuilt in 2020/2021 and currently show approximately 150 hours. Performance is optimized for efficiency and power, with a comfortable cruising speed of 22 knots at 40 liters per hour and a maximum speed of 28 knots. Anglers will appreciate the dedicated setup, which includes 17 rod holders, five electric reel outlets, and a trolling valve, supported by a 1,200-liter total fuel capacity for extended trips.
Living comforts have been prioritized during the refit, featuring new original Luhrs interior cushions, mattresses, and carpeting installed in 2022. The layout accommodates up to 11 passengers, with four berths across two cabins and one private bathroom. The cockpit is highly functional, equipped with a saltwater washdown, two exterior showers, and a spacious swim platform with a retractable four-step stainless steel ladder.
Technical upgrades ensure peace of mind, including new 2023 batteries, high-output LED lighting (white and blue), and an epoxied hull finished with silicone paint carrying a five-year warranty. Safety equipment is comprehensive, including a new 8-person life raft valid through 2025 and gear suitable for navigation beyond 12 miles. This vessel is ready for viewing at the dock and available for immediate inspection.
