2004 Luhrs 30 Open

Step aboard and you’ll notice how “Off The Chart” feels bigger than a typical 30-footer. The wide beam and open deck make it easy to work a spread or move guests around without crowding, and the transom door simplifies bringing big fish or dive gear aboard. The integrated hardtop keeps the helm shaded, while the raised bridge deck keeps the skipper in close touch with the cockpit action. Inside, the cabin’s natural light and efficient layout make it practical for quick overnights between runs. With straight-shaft Yanmar diesels, access for routine service is straightforward, and the simple running gear keeps ownership less complicated for an owner-operator.

A 30 Open like this is right at home in warm, shallow-inlet waters where you might run from calm back bays out to choppier grounds in a single outing. The hull’s seaworthy entry softens an afternoon wind chop, yet the modest draft lets you sneak into tighter anchorages or closer to the sandbar. Diesel efficiency stretches your range between fuel docks, while the open cockpit and hardtop provide a comfortable base for trolling, bottom fishing, or just drifting with family. Airy accommodations below give you a cool, secure place to escape the sun and stay out overnight when the bite is on.
