Eastern 248 Tournament Edition Nominated For Best New Product At Newport International Boat Show
The Newport International Boat Show is, traditionally, the first show of the new boat season at which manufacturers launch their new sail and power boats, as well as new boating products. Recognizing this, the Show has long identified those companies that bring their new product introductions to Newport. And, for the past few years, the best of the new boats and products have been selected in conjunction with Cruising World, Sailing World and MotorBoating magazines. Nominees to this year’s Newport For New Products program were announced recently and include the Eastern 248 Tournament Edition from Eastern Boats, Inc.
Working from their 248 Explorer platform, they outfitted the Tournament Edition for the serious fisherman. Features include in-floor fish box complete with pump out as well as a transom livewell. They made the L-shaped settee standard and installed a hand wash sink, cutting board and tackle station. Some of the other features include a leaning post in exchange for the captains chair, additional rod holders and a roof mounted rocket launcher. To round out the new look, the 248 Tournament is finished off with new graphics. Read More

The New Eastern 24
The new 24’s hit the water recently and performed exceptionally! We are extremely happy with the results of all of our hard work. Both the center console and cabin version ran beautiful. The 24’ Cabin Boat powered with a 150HP Honda with 45 gallons fuel and 2 people ran up to 37.5 knots. The boat cruised at 22 knots and ran flat. We had a small chop and the boat was stable under power as well as at rest. The 24’ Center Console with a 135HP Honda, 45 gallons of fuel and 2 people ran up to 34 knots and cruised around 21 knots with similar characteristics in handling to the cabin boat.
We finished the new 24’s a little later than anticipated and missed a lot of the fall and winter shows. Watch for the 24’ as it makes its show debut at the Newport Boat Show, Newport, RI September 17- 20, 2009, and the Norwalk International In-Water Boat Show, Norwalk, CT September 24 – 27, 2009.
