Luhrs 36 Convertible 2007 vs Luhrs 36 Open 1998 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Luhrs 36 Convertible 2007 vs Luhrs 36 Open 1998 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Luhrs 36 Convertible 2007 carries a rated maximum of 480 hp. Engine data for the Luhrs 36 Open 1998 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Luhrs 36 Convertible 2007 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Luhrs 36 Open 1998 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Luhrs 36 Convertible 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Luhrs 36 Convertible 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 38,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Luhrs 36 Open 1998 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
