Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Eastern 22 Lobsterfisherman 2012 vs Eastern 35 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Eastern 22 Lobsterfisherman 2012 against a deep vee Eastern 35 2012 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 330 hp, the Eastern 35 2012 has a 215-hp advantage over the Eastern 22 Lobsterfisherman 2012's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Eastern 22 Lobsterfisherman 2012 carries 5 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Eastern 35 2012. 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 2012 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 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Eastern 35 2012 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.
