Q: I'm interested in buying a new boat, where is my nearest dealer?
A: You can use our dealer locator to find your nearest dealer.
Q: May I tour the factory and see what new styles are available?
A: Yes, we are very excited to show off our production facility.
Q: Some older name brand boats have issues with the wood in their transoms. How does Eastern solve this problem?
A: Eastern uses transoms made from 100% composite materials. Therefore, there are no wood degradation issues to worry about.
Q: I store my boat on a trailer and the manufacturer says that I should only use a "bunk" style trailer. What is the reason?
A: Usually there is not enough thickness in the fiberglass in the bottom of their boats to support its weight. Eastern boats, however, are built to commercial boat standards and have ample strength to support the boat on an all roller trailer year round, thus making launching and loading much easier.
Q: What horsepower motor would be required on my new boat to give me ample speed and lasting power?
A: This will vary depending on how large the boat is. However, all Eastern boats have a shallow dead rise and a unique keel assembly that offers a friendly sea keeping ability. Our boats only require a fraction of the horsepower needed by others, thus offering great fuel economy.
