Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Eastern 22 Lobsterfisherman 2012 vs Eastern 35 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Eastern 22 Lobsterfisherman 2012 against a deep vee Eastern 35 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.
The Eastern 22 Lobsterfisherman 2012 carries a rated maximum of 115 hp. Engine data for the Eastern 35 2008 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 Lobsterfisherman 2012 carries 5 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Eastern 35 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Eastern 35 2008 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Eastern 22 Lobsterfisherman 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 35 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Eastern 35 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 35,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Eastern 22 Lobsterfisherman 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.
