Built on the proven pedigree of Luhrs, the 38 Convertible (later known as the 40 Convertible) is known for its solid ride, practical layout, and tournament ready cockpit. This particular vessel takes that reputation several steps further with thoughtful upgrades and premium inclusions throughout.
Step up to the flybridge and you'll immediately notice the beautifully finished Pompanette helm chairs in varnish, offering both comfort and classic styling. The open flybridge has been recently refreshed with new carpets, clears, and upholstery, making it an inviting command centre in any weather.
For the serious angler, this boat is dialled in. Equipped with Lees of Miami outriggers, a teak marlin board, and a spacious cockpit shaded by a Euro awning when the fish aren't on. It's set up for game fishing success as well as comfortable relaxing.
Underwater Lumishore lights add both fish attracting capability and a striking presence at anchor.
Mechanical confidence is a standout feature here. The engines were fully rebuilt in 2015 (including turbochargers), and have been meticulously maintained, with heat exchangers, aftercoolers, oil coolers, and fuel coolers all serviced in 2022. The last two services were undertaken by her experienced owner in December 2024 and March/April 2026. Running gear has also been brought up to spec, with propellers pitched and balanced in 2023, plus new cutlass bearings, dripless shaft seals, and Lenco trim tab actuators installed the same year.
Onboard living is equally well considered. Recent upgrades include:
o Deep cycle house batteries and all new cranking batteries
o Two 165W solar panels paired with a Victron smart controller and new MPPT
o Modern cooktop and a 32 inch smart TV. TVs to the cabins also
o Dual Dometic fridge/freezers for extended stays onboard
The bow rail has been renewed, and the vessel features a new gunwale rubbing strip, adding both safety and a clean, updated look. And to top it off, the package includes a near new 2022 RIB powered by a 3.5hp Mercury four stroke outboard. Perfect for shore runs or exploring those hard to reach anchorages.
This Luhrs 38 Convertible isn't just another boat on the market. It's a turnkey offshore weapon with the upgrades already done and the reliability already proven. Whether you're chasing billfish wide offshore, heading to the Abrolhos or enjoying a relaxed weekend on the water at Rottnest, this vessel is ready to deliver.
