Owner Experience Review

Owners use the 32 OpenbyLUHRSfor family cruising and weekend runs, from local waters and Hudson River/Hudson Canyon trips to serious offshore/pelagic work, day fishing, and tournament-style use; in the Pacific Northwest it sees duty for salmon and halibut. On the water, it is regarded as a good sea boat for its size: the 18° transom deadrise delivers a capable, generally smooth ride with a comfortable cruise in the mid-20s knots and tops near 30 knots (some owners have recorded about 35 mph wide-open with current). The prevailing owner summary is “not much for speed but a smooth ride,” and there is consistent advice that added or modified superstructure can change roll and stability, so sea-trialing any altered boat is prudent.

Below, the plan is practical for a 32-footer: V-berth/dinette forward, starboard settee, port galley, and a stand-up head with a pull-out shower; the carried beam yields a roomy feel with at least 6 ft 2 in of headroom reported. The cockpit is sized for fishing at roughly 50 sq ft and rigged with a transom tuna door, fishbox, and livewell, while still accommodating family time. Helm ergonomics are a known compromise: the small centered console leaves little room for electronics, pushing many to install overhead boxes that can lead to neck strain on long runs. Maintenance-wise, engine access is on the tight side through the cockpit hatch or tilting console; surveyors and owners watch cored hullsides and glassed-over-wood structure for signs of delamination or rot, and some older boats have needed deck or cabin-bulkhead work. Diesel power (Cummins/Yanmar were common) has a reputation for durability—one owner called the era’s Cummins inline-six ‘pretty much bullet proof’—though gasoline versions also exist.

Pros and Cons

Capable sea boat for its size with a smooth ride, typically cruising in the mid-20s knots and topping near 30 knots.

Roomy cabin for 32 feet with V-berth/dinette, starboard settee, port galley, stand-up head, and about 6 ft 2 in of headroom.

Fishing-ready cockpit around 50 sq ft with transom tuna door, fishbox, and livewell.

Engine access is tight via the cockpit hatch or tilting console, making some service work cramped.

Small centered helm console limits electronics space, and overhead boxes can cause neck strain on long runs.

Older boats warrant careful surveys for cored hullside issues and glassed-over-wood stringer/bulkhead delamination or rot.
