1997 Eastern 27 Lobster Fisherman

This 1997 Eastern 27 is a downeast lobster fisherman built on a fiberglass hull with the proportions and seaworthiness characteristic of the design. The boat measures 27 feet in length with an 8.3-foot beam, offering a stable platform for both working and recreational use.

Power comes from a single Mercruiser 325 hp gasoline engine, which was installed in 2019. The boat reaches a maximum speed of approximately 30 knots and cruises comfortably at around 21 knots. The engine was chosen to balance performance with fuel efficiency while keeping the boat trailerable.

The layout includes a single head and a spacious afterdeck well suited for fishing or entertaining. The open working deck provides room for multiple people to fish comfortably, whether trolling or casting. The boat is compact enough to launch and retrieve from a trailer, making it practical for those who prefer mobile access to the water.
