Eastern Eastern 248 Tournament 2009 vs Eastern Eastern 35 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Eastern Eastern 248 Tournament 2009 against a deep vee Eastern Eastern 35 2009 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 Eastern Eastern 35 2009 tops out at 330 hp. Engine specs for the Eastern Eastern 248 Tournament 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Eastern Eastern 248 Tournament 2009 carries 9 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Eastern Eastern 35 2009. 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 Eastern 35 2009 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Eastern Eastern 248 Tournament 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 Eastern 35 2009 could be the deciding factor.

The Eastern Eastern 248 Tournament 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.
