Luhrs 32 Open Enclosure

[BOAT BULLY]

I Am Getting To Replace My Enclosure On My 1995 320 Open And I Am Looking For Ideas On Either Staying With A Soft Enclosure Or Switching To A Soft Side And Ez2cy Front. Has Any One Had Any Expereince With This Enclosure On Your 32? Thank You.

I have had the EZ2CY on a past boat and it is a much better product. It is better to look through and it just looks better in general.

I am in need of a owners manual for a 1998 320 Open. Do you think your manual from 2005 would differ much?

The EZ2CY products are FAR superior to anything else I have seen on a boat. Email or PM Tisha at Gioia Sails (user - tisha@gioia (http://www.luhrsowners.com/forums/member.php?u=3)). She should be able to help you out.

that is easy! replace the front 3 panels with EZ2CY. the left and right front panels will not open. have eybrow vents put in at the top. the center vent will unzip and flip up and snap to the underside of the hardtop when you want to open it. the side curtains are strata or eisen (good quality pressed UV stable vinyl) with two "U"s on each side that can be unzipped and rolled up - NOT one large U like OEM. same material for the the back corner curtains start at the outside of the fish box and get straps to be rolled up (unlike OEM that have to be removed) along with the rear center which gets straps and rolls up.

thanks. i have to give credit to Scott at Canvas Creations in Cape May Cthse, NJ. He came out and looked at the factory enclosure, asked what we liked and didnt like and then made the following changes:
1. front 3 panels EZ2CY for clarity.
2. center panel unzips and flips up
3. delete front U's - cant roll EZ2CY
4. add eyebrows vent at top
5. add tracks to bottom and delete DOT snaps
6. split side curtains into 2 U's - you can roll the rear U and get less spray when running than you can with one big U
7. split rear curtains to allow roll up of curtain by fishboxes (rather than removing factory curtains altogether)
8. use clear strata/eisenglass NOT tinted plastic as from factory

total price i think was just over $4k.
