For those unfamiliar with this New Hampshire—and local—builder, the following are two "Eastern" examples:
A sailing colleague piloted his Eastern to my dock on a windy day: I advised waiting for a calmer day to tow my sailboat, but off he zoomed with it anyway—without a problem.
I've watched this Eastern go by in every condition imaginable—ooooooops—
excepting heavy fog 
. I'm impressed in every way with it's "lake-winnipesaukee-worthiness". It's got a Honda outboard, which is how I'd order it.
On Fridays or Saturdays, you'll probably see it towing a J-boat to the races.
(A J-boat is one of our faster, larger, sailboats on Winnipesaukee...um...um...a 28-footer? 29? 
).
