Wasn't Luhr's add slogan in reference to the ride

"a whole lot of buck for the bang"

Ahhh now there you go gum flappin about somethin you obviously know nothing about... Nothing wrong with their ride Have run the fence right along side the big boys with a little 36 in the MA500 and never had an issue...
Well thought lay out. Roomy, moderately attractive... Quick, real good on fuel... Some fit and finish issues but for what an owner saves getting into one, a fairly insignifigant inconvenience...

My boat does just fine. Not the fastest, not gonna break the bank on fillup either.

I've had a handful of issues in 10 years, and Luhrs has always made good - I have no complaints.

The ride is just fine for a 36 footer - there are gonna be days when the big boys can fish, that I wouldn't - but I learned a long time ago that it takes more than size...

Heck - it even has a bunch of room to store a bunch of those "rare" Islander Pros...

Hey I hear ya. If you want a cheep boat its great. I grew up fishing a 35 Luhrs and caught a lot of fish on it. Caught my first white and Blue on it in fact. The ride is terrible and it is the flimsiest boat I have ever been on. The finish work is substandard and isn't worth the money. I guess you could go and get lunch at Taco Bell but if you look around and pay just a little extra you can find something more taste and it won't give you the shits. I really commend you guys for sticking up for the Luhrs brand, not many people would. It has the worst name in sportfishing.

THE LUHRS....I MADE TWO YEARS OF SALARY WORKING THE PIT ON A LUHRS BACK IN THE EARLY NINTIES.....WE NEVER CLAIMED IT TO BE THE TAJ MAHAL....BUT WHO CARED....AS LONG AS YOU CAN CATCH FISH, NO ONE CARED....

THAT'S THE THING, I DON'T CARE WHAT BOAT YOU RIDE ON OR HOW PURTY THE THING IS...IF YOU CAN'T CATCH FISH THEN YOUR PALM BEACH RIDE AIN'T WORTH TWO CENTS

It does look like the saillure, but the saillure is only 5 1/2 inches long and about 3/4 in in diameter- The eyes are definitely in the right place though...
