Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Luhrs 36 Convertible 2008 vs Luhrs 400 Tournament 1999 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Luhrs 36 Convertible 2008 vs Luhrs 400 Tournament 1999 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 480 hp, the Luhrs 36 Convertible 2008 has a 60-hp advantage over the Luhrs 400 Tournament 1999's 420-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Luhrs 400 Tournament 1999 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Luhrs 36 Convertible 2008 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Luhrs 400 Tournament 1999 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Luhrs 400 Tournament 1999 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 40,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Luhrs 36 Convertible 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
