Dear Sandy,
I have never owned a Luhrs, but have been to their factory on a several
occasions to ferry new boats to their owners. NICE boats! Ride well in a
heavy sea, and the convertable models are a functional and comfortable
fisherman too. Plenty of range, storage and fresh water, and easy to
dock too.

We had a few problems with the first boat's engines. The factory hired
an aircraft, and, flew a mechanic with parts to Savannah to repair the
boat, so, I must add that factory service was superb.

Let me recommend the tour. You must call in advance to arrange it. The
Factory is located in St. Augustine, Florida, which is the nation's
oldest city. Lots of touist attractions, (Ripley's Believe it or not
museaum, oldest : castle, church, house, jail, farm, tavern, restaurant,
ect) and home to World Golf Village. You should have a good time.

Dockage & fuel available downtown. Nice docks, within walking distance
of attractions and dining. Taxis, scooters and horse drawn carrages
available for transportation.

If you want any info about trip planning, give me a head's up. I live
nearby (22mi) and can give you the native's viewpoint.
