The 2018 Eastern 27 Islander is a fiberglass downeast boat built for coastal cruising and equipped with a full pilothouse for all-weather operation. Twin Honda 150 hp four-stroke outboard engines with 360 hours deliver a cruising speed of 18 knots and a top speed of 27 knots. The boat features a SeaKeeper Ride automatic trim tab system and a bow thruster for maneuvering. A new Bimini top and snap-down cockpit flooring complete the outdoor space, which includes a removable table and a recently reupholstered stern seat.
The pilothouse provides protected helm and passenger seating, with most windows opening for ventilation. A Dometic reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning unit mounted below the passenger seat works alongside a rooftop Dometic air conditioning unit. The starboard side houses the helm chair and an aft galley with a refrigerator, Corian countertop with stainless steel sink, and both 110v and 12v power outlets. Freshwater and raw water washdowns are included.
Below deck, the cabin features a V-berth forward and an enclosed head with shower. An aft single berth provides additional sleeping space. Navigation and communication equipment includes a Raymarine Axiom 12RV chartplotter with GPS, depth, and radar; a Raymarine autopilot; and a Raymarine Ray70 VHF radio with AIS. A Ritchie compass and 30 amp shore power complete the systems. The boat includes a lockable cockpit door and pilothouse bulkhead—a configuration noted as uncommon for the model.
