I am looking at a 1994 luhrs flybridge as my next boat, any input on what I should be aware of? I not a fan of the marine power 454, I have crusaders for the last 11 years and they still run great.My major concern is for the hull on this model if it had any issues.
 
FYI: Don't let MarinePower be a deal breaker. They are proven marine engines in commercial/recreational boats like redundant systems installed on the engines ie,. 2 belts and 2 oil filters that are not found on the blue engines.

The only draw back it's kinda hard to find parts in a hurry unless you are located near a distributor.

I believe it is a Silverton hull.
 
I have a friend who has one for sale in Texas, with twin Yanmar diesels. ~$65,000.
 
I havent heard anything bad about the hull. I have a 1991 Luhrs 342 which i preferred over the 32. alot more flybridge room, bigger cabin and a nicer layout. I am tossing around the idea of selling it before the wife finds out if you have any interest let me know ill send you some pics.
 
You need to look at US Boats Site and 32' Luhrs with Marine Power this was a real problem in this model. Water ingestion and finger pointing that eventually had to be litigated. Luhrs will no longer install Marine Power from lack of their support.

carolina's had/has a similar problem mostly in the 25'+ class. I have 454 crusaders in my luhrs and just repowered my 23' searay with a 5.7 crusader, i have heard bad things about jasper,marine power and the likes so im sold on the big blue
 
Be sure to check out the boat in the water. I was seriously considering a 41' Luhrs Convertible but was told to go look at a few sitting in their slips. When I did I noticed that the Luhrs were rocking considerably more than some of the other boats that were not Luhrs. I was also disappointed with the interior fit and finish. Didn't even get into the powerplant details...

Just my $02.
