I toured the plant a few years ago when I was looking at a 26' used boat that they had up from Nantucket. I liked the Easterns but decided it was not the boat for me. I put a posting out a while ago looking for suggestions. For me, I would prefer something with an enclosed cabin such as the Parkers (I would want heat and AC in it) but want a lot of rear deck space so preferrably outboards on brackets. In the cockpit I want all seating, I could care less about stoves, sinks, etc. And it has to do at least 50.

The Eastern I looked at had nothing for seating and had the I/O engine hump in the stern so deck space was not great. A boat like this for me will be a people and dog hauler as well as a wheel barrow. I have not found the right one yet that will make me get rid of my yellow toon.

Y Landing carries the C-Dory which are nice looking.
