The 2003 Luhrs 36 “The Don” is tough, capable, and properly set up for Kiwi gamefishing. The Don is ready to go now, fully equipped to roll straight into the next comp or a weekend chasing marlin with the family. Built solid and designed to handle rough water, she’s a boat that feels right at home offshore.

Twin 465hp Yanmar diesels power her along nicely with a top speed around 30knots. The Don delivers reliable, efficient performance with the range and confidence to head wide. The hull’s deep Vee and flared bow give her impressive sea-handling ability she rides soft and dry through a head sea, throws spray clear, and keeps her composure when the sea stands up. It’s the kind of boat you can fish all day in and still enjoy the run home.

The cockpit is tournament-ready, set up with a bait station, live well, outriggers, and plenty of space for the crew to move when the action starts. An extra Simrad display in the cockpit means you can watch the sounder and chart data while working the deck. At the helm, an upgraded Simrad suite gives you everything you need at your fingertips.

Down below, The Don is comfortable and practical, exactly what you want after a big day offshore. The galley is fully equipped with a cooktop, fridge, microwave, and good storage, making it easy to feed the crew or settle in for a multi-day comp. The forward master cabin has an island double berth with generous space to rest and recharge, while the saloon provides a relaxed, functional area to share a meal, a story, or a cold drink.

The Don is a well-sorted, tournament-ready Luhrs 36 with a solid reputation and the gear to match. Meticulously maintained yanmar engines, upgraded Simrad electronics, and a hull that thrives offshore, this is a boat built to fish hard, run comfortably, and bring you home safe. Load your gear, fuel up, and she’s ready to head out tomorrow.
