Luhrs supplies storage for six 6-foot rod-and-reel combos in the brow on the bridge. Looking at how people bring food and drinks aboard inspired Luhrs to design portable cloth cooler bags with built-in cold plates that you can plug into a 12-volt power source in your car on the trip to the boat. Fill it at home, carry it aboard and put it in the designated space on the flybridge and plug it into the awaiting power outlet.

**I’d classify storage capacity on this 35-footer as monumental. The forward cabin sports an island double berth with lots of storage beneath, making linen duties much easier.

Luhrs has replaced the metal bridge ladder found on many boats with a decidedly safer and more civilized means of getting to and from the flybridge: a set of molded-in stairs that run up the starboard side of the bridge. The stairs on the 340 contain the engine room vents, thereby eliminating the need for large hullside vents.
You lose a slight amount of room on the bridge because of the stairs, but there’s still plenty of space. The 340’s helm is offset to port so that passengers can come and go without tripping over the helmsman, and more passengers can rest on the lounge seat forward of the helm. Luhrs has provided ample storage space in the form of bins along the front edge of the bridge, and has even added a built-in flat surface designed to accept a life raft. Smart.
