280 Flybridge Sedan

The 280 Flybridge Sedan was a popular model for Luhrs during the 1970s because of her affordable price, spacious interior, and rugged good looks. By using V-drives to move the engine aft beneath the cockpit sole, Luhrs engineers were able to set the cabin low in the hull allowing for the addition of a flybridge without making the boat top-heavy in appearance. Built on a solid fiberglass modified-V hull with a wide 11'2" beam, the 280 Sedan is a roomy boat for her size both inside and out. There’s enough square footage in the cockpit for some light-tackle fishing, and the interior—with a wide dinette, V-berths forward, a full galley and an enclosed head with shower—is larger than one might expect in a boat this size. A lower helm was optional, and wraparound opening cabin windows provide a panoramic view of the outside. Additional features include a large hatch in the cockpit sole for engine access, flybridge seating for four, wide side decks (and a high bow rail), and a swim platform. Among several engine options, the 280 will cruise at 16–18 knots with twin 250hp gas engines and reach a top speed of around 27–28 knots.
