Owner Experience Review
Owners use the LUHRS31 Openas a flexible platform: a dayboat/picnic boat with enough creature comforts for weekenders on waterways like the Hawkesbury or Port Stephens, and as an express fisherman outfitted with bait prep, a 45‑gal standup livewell, and in‑deck fishboxes. Its deep‑V hull is noted for cutting through waves, and offshore capability has been reported at CE Class B.
On the water, typical cruise is around 24–25 knots with 375 hp gas/inboard setups, while optional 380 hp or Volvo IPS variants run in the mid‑20s with improved fuel economy. Owners and distributors of IPS boats describe them as "quicker, much quieter, and much more economical," and they also point to easier docking and maneuvering for short‑handed dayboating.
Below, the 31 Opensleeps four with a teak & holly sole and a full galley with fridge and Corian counter, and headroom is reported around 6'3" (1.91 m). A noted drawback is that the head lacks an opening port for ventilation. In service, the helm deck lifts for engine access, and forum threads show that some interior tasks—such as replacing a wiper motor—can involve removing the vinyl headliner; owners of older gasoline boats also discuss repower paths and transmission/rotation choices.
