Matching a deep vee Eastern 22 Lobster 2008 against a modified vee Eastern Eastern 20 2010 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 22 Lobster 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Eastern Eastern 20 2010 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Eastern 22 Lobster 2008 tips the scales at 255 lbs — 240 lbs more than the Eastern Eastern 20 2010 at 15 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The Eastern 22 Lobster 2008 carries a rated maximum of 135 hp. Engine data for the Eastern Eastern 20 2010 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Eastern 22 Lobster 2008 carries 52 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Eastern Eastern 20 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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.
