For Boaters who enjoy both fishing and cruising the LUHRS - TOURNAMENT SPORT FISHERMAN 320 - CONVERTIBLEoffers style, solid construction, and a sensibly laid out design,an extensive list of features intended to satisfy both cruisers & fishermen alike & anaffordable price. All of which results inone of the LUHRS company's most successful designs.

For nearly 60 years the LUHRS Corporation has been designing & building boats. Their reputation has long been strong among coastal fishermen who were looking for vessels of solid value. In an attempt to influence customers who enjoyed fishing as well as the amenities of cruising boats, LUHRS introduced their Tournament series of Fly Bridge Convertibles in 1986.The 320 Convertible was added to the line in 1988 with a waterline length of 31ft 6 inches.

The 320 Convertible was a break from the LUHRS tradition of bare-bones fishing boats and offered an extensive list of standard equipment. Items such as a custom aluminium tower, transom door, rod holders, fresh and seawater wash down pumps appealed to the fishermen while a fully equipped galley, a main saloon & an honest Stateroom with a comfortable Double Berth appealed to those with a cruising interest. The 320 Convertible remained in production until 1999 & used models are in high demand on the used market.

Reinforcement of the hull is accomplished with fiberglass- encapsulated plywood stringers and frames attached to the hull by secondary bonds of fiberglass. Limber holes, drilled through frames and stringers to allow drainage, are sealed with gel coat. To LUHRS credit, this method of finishing exposed plywood edges is better than some that leave the wood grain exposed.

Like nearly all production boat manufacturers, LUHRS makes extensive use of one-piece moulded fiberglass liners for interior and cockpit components. The benefits of moulded liners are ease of maintenance and reduced cost of construction. The deck-to-hull joint is fastened with adhesive sealant and stainless steel screws on 12-inch centres. A high-density plastic rub rail is added at the deck edge with stainless steel insert to help prevent damage from docking. Deck fittings and hardware are securely fastened with stainless steel nuts bolts & washers. There is plenty of room in the cockpit if an Owner wishes to install a game chair.

Typical of Carolina-styled Sport Fisherman, the maximum beam of 320 Convertible is carried forward of amidships resulting in a very large fore deck area. The fore deck is flush and unobstructed by anything other than a single deckhatch. A welded aluminium rail that extends to just past the cabin surrounds the deck. LUHRS has provided conveniently placed handrails along the cabin for added safety.

As with all boats of this style, there are necessary compromises in order to accommodate fisherman as well as cruisers.There isan insulated icebox along the port side and tackle locker and sink to starboard. There are two removable fish boxes below the cockpit deck and a walk-through transom door to port.

While the Fly Bridge of any 32-footer is bound to have restricted space, the 320 Convertible can accommodate

5people. There is a helm seat and mate's seat behind the helm console and a forward facingbench seat in front.There is plenty of space below the console and bench seat for storage of gear.

This vessel has a custom welded aluminiumFly Bridge with a Moulded Hardtop &an overhead fiberglass ElectronicEquipmentenclosure compartment.

The 320 Convertible is one of only a few boats of this style and size to offer a true Owner's Stateroom. The forwardStateroom is fully enclosed and features a centre island berth large enough for two adults. There is six feet of standing headroom and sufficient room, with the door closed, to change clothes without feeling like a contortionist. There are two good-sized hanging lockers on each side of the cabin and storage drawers below the berth. There are Rod Storage Racks overhead.

Aft of the Owner's Stateroom is a head and shower to starboard and galley to port. The head is larger than most boatsof this size and the shower is integral. The galley is compact & efficient with a Microwave Oven, a two hot platecounter top stove, sink and 110/12v front-loading refrigerator. The main saloon features a convertible couch to starboard and a convertible Dinette to port.

Detroit Twin Marine Turbo Dieselengines are fitted as options at considerable extra cost. Due to the substantial cost, these were not popular choices and it is unusual to find a Diesel Powered 320 on the used market.

The hull form is a modified "V" with a dead rise angle (the angle of the hull bottom to the water plane) of 18 degrees which is fairly typical of this type of vessel. It results in a smooth comfortable ride under all but extreme conditions.There is considerable flare to the 320's hull sides at the bow and the ride is very dry even in choppy water.

Standard equipment includes hydraulic steering and the 320 responds to the Helm quickly and the boat is easily controlled. Hydraulically operated Trim Tabs control the Hull trim angle for changes in speed, sea conditions & the boat load.

Designing a successful powerboat of this dual-purpose type is a delicate balance of compromises. The fact the 320 Convertible remained in production for 12 years and remains a popular choice among used boat buyers would confirm that LUHRS achieved the right compromises with this design.
