Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Eastern 35 2011 vs Eastern Eastern 248 Center Console 2009: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Eastern 35 2011 is a deep-V design and the Eastern Eastern 248 Center Console 2009 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
The Eastern 35 2011 carries a rated maximum of 330 hp. Engine data for the Eastern Eastern 248 Center Console 2009 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Eastern 35 2011 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Eastern Eastern 248 Center Console 2009 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Eastern 35 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Eastern 35 2011 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 Eastern 248 Center Console 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
