Matching a modified vee Eastern 20 Center Console 2013 against a deep vee Eastern 22 Sportfisherman 2008 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Eastern 20 Center Console 2013 at 20,2 ft versus Eastern 22 Sportfisherman 2008 at 22,0 ft. At 15 lbs and 16 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 135 hp, the Eastern 22 Sportfisherman 2008 has a 45-hp advantage over the Eastern 20 Center Console 2013's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Eastern 22 Sportfisherman 2008 and its 135-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Eastern 20 Center Console 2013 with its 90-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
