When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Eastern 27 Lobsterfisherman 2011 and the Eastern Eastern 27 2010 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Eastern 27 Lobsterfisherman 2011 at 26,3 ft versus Eastern Eastern 27 2010 at 26,3 ft. At 49 lbs and 48 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Eastern 27 Lobsterfisherman 2011 carries a rated maximum of 225 hp. Engine data for the Eastern Eastern 27 2010 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 11 gal and 11 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 8 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.
Bottom line: The Eastern 27 Lobsterfisherman 2011 and Eastern Eastern 27 2010 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
