Eastport 32 in the Abaco's -2014 

FAQ about the Eastport 32.

We do get a lot of questions about our boats -  here are a sample with the best answers I can give:

Q: How long have you been building the Eastport 32?  A: We started design and tooling in 2006 and launched the first boat in 2007.

Q: How many have you built?  A: We are completing #16 with #17 in the pipeline

Q; Where are the boats? A: About 30% are in the Chesapeake Bay, the rest are spread between Florida, The Carolina's, The Bahamas, Australia, Bermuda and Italy.

Q: Can I get one with a single engine?A: Not really, we have tooled up for twin engine layout.To configure the molds for single engine would be a costly exercise.

Q: What is the draft? A: The deepest part of the boat is forward at 22"  the props are 19" deep.

Q: Can I get outboards? A: Yes

Q How capable is the Eastport 32 Offshore? A: Its a great offshore boat, we have taken Eastport 32's from New England to Key West, offshore.  Eastport 32's regularly make the trip from the Chesapeake to New England in the summer and Eastport 32's cross the Gulf stream from Florida to the Bahama's every season.

Q: What is the hull shape? A: The hull underbody is based on the modern Carolina Sportfishing boat - Modified V - with twin prop pockets.  Very efficient in a sea way and stable at slow speed for trolling or creek cruising. Call to discuss more about this.

Q: What is the fuel economy?  A: An incredible 2.27 miles/Gal  at 25kts with a 440 mile range (with standard power)

Q: Do you offer specific options? A: Yes we build each boat to suit,  in collaboration with each of our clients we build the boat that suits your needs and wishes best.

Q: Do you have used boats?  A: Yes, sometimes. Typically they don't stay on the market long,

Q: Can I fish on the Eastport 32?  A: The boat is an outstanding fishing platform - Either for offshore blue water Pelagic's like Blue and White Marlin, closer to home reef fishing and particularly the Chesapeake Bay style fishing of trolling, light tackle or live lining.

Q: How does the boat ride? A; It is designed to handle steep bay style chop with deep V forward,  we have moderate lifting strakes that are not too wide for a soft ride. Turns like a sports car. Down sea runs straight and true.  Come and test one out!

Q: Does the tailgate leak in a following sea? A: This is not really an issue as that part of the boat is well out of the water when running, if you are backing down (Hard) in a following sea water will build up against the gasket and some water will get in the boat (no more than a boat with scuppers)  this self drains immediately as the cockpit is completely self draining.

Q: What color can I get? A: Any Color you like!

One Thousand Hour Check Up

Hull #1 had a great opportunity to stop in Washington North Carolina at Roger Brooks boatyard to have the first Eastport 32 ever build checked out after 1000 hrs of engine service!! The boat had spent the winter in the Florida Keys and then on its journey north she did the Miami boatshow, was race committee boat for the Farr 40 circuit, then race committee boat at Charleston race week. When she got to the boatyard in North Carolina all the staff were keen to see how she had fared since leaving the factory more than 4 years earlier. having done 3 tours in the Florida Keys and 2 trips to New England and countless trips around the Chesapeake Bay, the intial rection was that she looked great as Dick and Nick have taken great care of her. So with some gel coat nicks and new caulking here and there, a Compound, buff and wax on the hull sides and a fresh coat of bottom paint she looks like new. I am particularly impressed with the Flag Blue hull sides which look great all waxed up and shiny. Here are a couple of shots from the trip up.

Leaving the Florida Keys

Somewhere in the Carolina's: The thing to notice is the crisp clean caulk job on the tailgate, one of the cosmetic touch ups the boys at Brooke Boatworks did. Nice work!! Also nice to see dick Neville ran the boat all the way from Key West to Annapolis with no problems, other than a bit of a thumping in the lower Chesapeake Bay, I am told conditions were nice the whole way up. At 3000 RPM the Volvo Penta D3 190 HP engines push the boat at about 22kts with a fuel burn of 9.2 gallons per hour (2.39nm/gal)...Sweet

This Eastport 32 has had a fun winter in South Florida, serving as race committee at Key West Race week in January, then as show boat at the Miami boatshow, Race Committee for the Farr 40 event in Miami then some RnR at Lighthouse Point, then another race committee stint in Charleston for the fabulous event there and now returned home to the factory in NC for a little pampering and TLC before returning to the Chesapeake Bay.

Here is a picture of hull 14 in the mold, next step is stringers and interior fit out before we pop that one out to make room for the next one.

BREAKING NEWS there is a rumour of a 60lb+ Striper caught this morning just an hour south of Annapolis, this could be a new state record!Anne Hooper with 4th place fish.

Light Tackle fishing

Eastport 32 owners Nick Shuck and Dave Wood joined Tom Weaver for a day of light tackle striper fishing around the remote Tangier and Smith Islands in the Chesapeake bay. Guide Kevin Josenhans took us to all the special spots when the tides were right for the group to catch and release upwards of 50 fish, keeping a couple for the supper table. A fantastic day with schooling Dolphins and diving pelicans.

Postcard from the Bahamas

I brought Gandy Dancer back yesterday with Brad and my father. If you can believe the trip across the Bahamas Bank was about like our first three hours going over. We went from one squall to another. The boat was just great. We hammered thru the 3 to 4 at 25 kms per hour pretty nicely. The radar and auto were great. Once we got past West End it was a lake the rest of the way.

Tom, we love the boat. It was everything we wanted. It changed our Bahamas experience. We were out most days til past six pm having got started at the crack of noon. The boat sips fuel, handled like a dream, and turned heads wherever we traveled. We did not do a night out, but will. Brad had a great trip with his family and his kids loved the boat and the cabin (read dollhouse). We did not do any fishing - so we have something to look forward to in the future.

Sea Trials

Wow what a wonderful boatshow, with some great weather the turn out was fantastic and we are now setting up for sea trials. Bear in mind the lead time for a boat is four months from Mold date and with orders in the works this can lead to a backlog of six months, so consider checking in with us soon for a boat in the North East for Spring delivery.
