2017Eastern248 Center Console

This is an almost new Eastern Boats 248 Center Console 2017 with a Yamaha 150 Four Stroke (under 30 hours) and a tandem axle trailer. She is priced far below replacement.

With her 8-foot-6-inch beam and transom bracket, the 248 Center Console offers comfortable seating with classic white vinyl/accent piped cushions in front of the console, in a “V-berth” abaft her proud bow, and astern across her full transom. 

     A folding bow dodger protects people sitting forward, while a hard T-top protects the skipper and companion.  The 37-inch-wide console holds a changing room with portable toilet and adult-sized headroom.

So how much power does this rig require?  Try a strong 150-hp four-stroke Yamaha outboard, half what her competitors require.  She can run efficiently at a wide range of speeds, thanks to her Downeast workboat hull - with flat run aft and keel.  The skipper can throttle up in calm water or back off for comfortable running in slop. She runs solid and stable underway, with engine trim and transom trim tabs to fine-tune her running attitude to load and conditions.
