The 1987 Hunter Alura 30 (built by Luhrs/Hunter) is a classic Downeast-style sports cruiser. Known for a semi-displacement hull, full keel, and exceptional fuel efficiency, she operates as a versatile platform for weekend cruising, fishing, or day trips with a 14–15 knot cruising speed.

Design & Performance

Style: Traditional Downeast design featuring high gunwales, wide side decks, and a large, deep cockpit.

Hull: Semi-displacement hull with a full keel, providing steady tracking and excellent handling in various water conditions. (Note: The keel was slightly redesigned in 1988 to reduce vibration issues in earlier models).

Performance: Typically powered by a single 270 HP gas inboard (such as a Chevy 350 Vortec). She cruises comfortably at 14–15 knots and tops out in the low 20s.

Efficiency: Known for being very fuel-efficient, getting approximately 1.6 to 1.7 nautical miles per gallon at cruising speed.

Layout & Accommodations

Cockpit: Offers over 100 square feet of space, frequently equipped with a hardtop, full enclosure, drop-down transom, and in-deck fish boxes.

Cabin & Galley: Features 6'4" of headroom. The galley includes a sink, icebox/refrigerator, stove, and hot/cold pressure water.

Sleeping Capacity: Sleeps up to four adults, utilizing a convertible V-berth, drop-down dinette, and two swing-up bunks.

Head: Includes an enclosed head with a sink, handheld shower, and a marine toilet.

Forward you have a dinette table that lowers and converts to a full width V-berth area. Aft to port is the galley and aft to starboard is the enclosed head with shower. Up a couple of steps to the helm deck with the helm to starboard and seats port and starboard. Aft to port is a tackle cabinet and then aft again to a very spacious cockpit area.
