If it had a trailer I be all over it!!

Rip that motor out, add a twin bracket with twin 200's be a real machine!!

Well the one I'm going down to work on sits on a nice tandem axle aluminum trailer, and is sporting a 260HP small block chivy. These LUHRS need a V-drive to perform worth a crap though, there to bow heavy. The one I'm going down to work on origanally had a 351 FORD, and I repowered it for him to the CHEVY. But on the test run I had to get everybody to stand in the back. With everybody sitting in the seats up front it would pull off 13 knots WOT, move people back and it would run 23 knots WOT. BIG DIFFERENCE!

she's an animal alright! looks like that brown snake that was playin peek-a-boo with my but crack the other day. hard to believe that luhrs would create such a pile.

I agree CTT, looks like road kill allright ;D

They're a heavy built tank from back in the day. LUHRS didn't always build these bootiful sport fisherman and luxury yachts, LUHRS used to be just like everybody else at one time building ugly purpose built fishing boats. The hull on these 25's I was told is around 1" thick.

I like it. It would be a super fishing boat.

If it's not rotted you could get it going for $6-8K. That's the down payment on a new boat of that size.
