First boat buying experience left me feeling completely overwhelmed

Eastern's, like island properties, don't seem to come onto the used boat market very often. Owners love them and they last and last. There used to be a third, 18', in the boat house south of Slickcraft on the west side o Welch. The big open cockpit is great for fishing, diving, hauling refrigerators, you name it. Far more useful for an islander than lots of built in upholstered seating. Add deck chairs if needed. Seaway too.

You may be thinking of the blue 19' center console Eastern that the boathouse owner drove with his wife up front behind a canvas shield. Well that Eastern is still being loved by members of the extended family. It is often seen at the Glendale docks.
