So what's the best 21' boat for an Islander who has to cross the Broads?

What else would you want to haul stuff in during rough conditions?

The all-weather Eastern is perfect for Winni, even more so when living on an island. That said, Grady-White has had top billing for decades.

Unfortunately, the Eastern plant had a fire last week, so production has been hampered.

There are lots of rumors floating around about this, I am not going to be the one to post them though...

Eastern has a company has been on the market for a few years for sale.

Did the fire start in the accountant's filing cabinet?

Not as effective with computers and back-up files
