Luhrs Powerboats - The Bangor Punta Era
The Luhrs Powerboats — The Bangor Punta Era section presents GG Archives' collection of Bangor Punta-era advertising and marketing materials for Luhrs yachts, cruisers, sport fishermen, and fiberglass powerboats. Covering models from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s, the section highlights Luhrs' transition into affordable fiberglass cruisers, including the Luhrs 28 Flybridge Sedan, 32 Fiberglass Sedan and Double Cabin models, Super 320, 360 Offshore, 38 Flying Bridge Cruiser, and 410 yacht. These advertisements emphasize rugged construction, offshore performance, cruising comfort, family accommodations, value pricing, and Luhrs' distinctive "built for men" branding, documenting how the company positioned its boats for fishing, cruising, and open-water use during the Bangor Punta years.
Luhrs 28 to 32 Foot Boats
Luhrs 32 Fiberglass Sedan (1967)
In 1967, Luhrs offered seven new fiberglass boats that nearly every boat buyer can afford... each with power and style options to let you pick exactly the boat you're looking for at the best dollar-for-dollar value you'll find anywhere.

Luhrs Double Cabin 32' Yacht (1969)
The Luhrs 32' Double Cabin is built to muscle its way through steep head seas, smooth out the roughest water, and cruise comfortably at better than 20 knots. Here's a boat for slipping away from the dock at the crack of dawn to race to the choicest fishing grounds, or to a quiet little cove for a day of loafing in the sun.

Luhrs 32' Fiberglass Sedan Cruiser (1970)
The Luhrs 32 Foot Cruiser - Sure, she's a big boat, but she's priced way below any comparable boat on the market! It's a more stable, more versatile, more maneuverable craft, particularly at trolling and cruising speeds. Take your pick of power -- gasoline or diesel, this baby planes out quicker, minimizing fuel consumption.

Luhrs 320: Fiberglass Was Never in Such Beautiful Shape (1971)
It's the kind of a boat for the blue water man … the kind of a man who wants to get to the fish or the next port first … And fast! Besides all this, every roomy foot of the Super 320 yacht is beautifully finished and provides living space and accommodations seldom found even in 35-footers.

Luhrs Super 320: A Man's Boat for a Man's World (1971)
A Luhrs boat is a beautiful boat, as can be seen by the photo of the Luhrs Super 320. Women, in particular, find the interior to be spacious and workable and tastefully decorated. Every Luhrs boat ever built has been used by its owner in all kinds of weather.

Luhrs 36+ Foot Boats
Luhrs 38 Flying Bridge Cruiser (1970)
See hull number 1 in our new series of 38 foot, fiberglass hulled, flying bridge, twin diesel cruisers that will knock the pants off our competition. I wish I could say that we had designed this boat, but it wouldn't be quite true. Actually, about 200 of our Luhrs owners had the biggest hand in designing the Luhrs 38.

Luhrs 360 High-Performance Offshore Cruiser (1972)
If ever there was a boat that combined the best of the two worlds of boating, this is it. We call it our Offshore 360 cruising boat. The manly appearance of an offshore cruiser and the exciting performance of an all-out racing machine in one sea-kindly, modified deep-V hull. We call it our Offshore 360 cruising boat.

Luhrs 32: You Can Still Aford A Good Boat (1975)
She combines comfortable living accommodations for six with the cockpit space of most 40-footers. Her bridge will handle five with ease, and her complete galley and dinette eliminate the need to eat in shifts. Inside and out, her finish is what you expect of today's fiberglass technology.

Luhrs Branding and Miscellaneous
Luhrs 32 Fiberglass Power Cruisers (1967)
Henry Luhrs and Charles Leighton: With Fiberglas construction, we can offer better styling and combine a lower profile with a deep V hull for superior stability. Then there's the advantage of greater strength and a seamless hull. This handsome 32' sedan carries twin diesels of greater weight and power than I'd design in other types of boats this size.

Luhrs Builds Boats For Men! (1971)
Luhrs boats are rugged rather than exotic, sturdy rather than glamorous, handsome rather than pretty, dependable rather than capricious. In fact, they have the qualities you'd want in a friend. And when the sea makes up and the wind begins to howl, it's nice to know who your friends are.
