Matching a deep vee Eastern 27 Lobsterfisherman 2012 against a modified vee Eastern Eastern 35 2013 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.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Eastern Eastern 35 2013 could be the deciding factor.
