Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Eastern 22 Center Console 2012 vs Eastern Boat tournament 2018: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Eastern 22 Center Console 2012 vs Eastern Boat tournament 2018 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Eastern Boat tournament 2018 has a 185-hp advantage over the Eastern 22 Center Console 2012's 115-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Eastern Boat tournament 2018 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Eastern 22 Center Console 2012 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Eastern Boat tournament 2018 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Eastern Boat tournament 2018 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 27,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Eastern 22 Center Console 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
