Given Eastern's down east lobster boat heritage I'm sure its going to be a bit more utilitarian which for those of us with young kids is a huge plus!

Just a thought
There used to be a boat builder in Rhode Island (Holby) that had "Pilot" 19 and 24 models that sound similar to what you're describing. I thought they were really nice looking boats. I wonder if Eastern bought the molds?
