PIG, when I first brought up the Eastern 22 in this thread, I did not really expect anyone here had experience with one so I'm glad to hear you have some experience.
Last summer we noticed a 22 lobster (dark blue hull) on Thursday evening out watching the J-80's race. We asked what it was, looked like a real island boat. A few weeks later we made the factory visit, nice people and yes each one is made to order the way you want.
We are on the windward side of Welch and my only concern is backing out of the slip on a windy day into the waves with the lower transom. I guess that you just let the scuppers deal with any water over the transom. Anyway, it looks like a fine island boat and made in NH to boot.
There are two 22’s that dock in Glendale on occasion and I keep looking them over.
