Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the 36 ConvertiblefromLUHRSfor its mixed-use profile: it regularly shows up outfitted for offshore gamefishing (rod storage, fishbox, molded bait prep), yet the two-stateroom, galley-up layout also sees family duty for weekend and multi-day cruising. The salon’s L- or U-shaped seating and the forward queen with convertible/settee berths create more usable volume than expected; many walkthroughs simply say it "feels bigger than 36 feet."
On the water, typical reports cite a 22–24 knot cruise and about 30–32 knots at the top, depending on engines such as Yanmar 440 hp or Cat 420 hp examples. The deep-V hull with a flared bow delivers a relatively soft, dry ride into a head sea and is widely regarded as seaworthy in rough water, though several owners note a sloppier motion in cross seas and more roll in beam conditions.
Aging examples can look dated, and neglected interiors may carry a musty smell. Maintenance notes include electrical/starting gremlins (batteries, starter/solenoid, and even a melted/shorting electrical box in one owner thread). The engine room is reached via a large salon-sole hatch—generally workable, but outboard strainers and some items are tight—while listing histories show some boats needing major mechanicals (rebuilt engine, replaced transmission). Many carry an optional generator (e.g., Kohler 8 kW), and routine service items like Racors, sea strainers, and AC units are commonly cited.
Pros and Cons
- Versatile platform used for offshore sportfishing and family weekending with a two-stateroom, galley-up layout.
- Deep-V hull and flared bow provide a relatively soft, dry head-sea ride and capable rough-water manners.
- Perceived interior volume "feels bigger than 36 feet" with L/U-shaped salon seating.
- Some owners report a sloppy ride in cross seas and more roll in beam conditions.
- Electrical/starting issues are cited, including batteries, starter/solenoid, and at least one melted/shorting electrical box.
- Engine-room access via salon hatch with tight outboard items, plus histories of major engine work, can drive service time and costs.
