For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Eastern 248 Tournament 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Eastern Eastern 22 (Sport Fisherman) 2009 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Eastern 248 Tournament 2013 could be the deciding factor.
