What model are you looking at?
Mine is a 1976 Easterly 36' Aft
cabin model. I think they made 4 models. A 31' aft
cockpit, a 36' aft
cockpit, a 36' aft cabin (center cockpit), and a 38' aft cockpit. The 36'
boats go net 12tons~14tons. 80 gallons of
water in a
fiberglass bow tank, 40 gallons of
diesel in a
fiberglass mid ship tank over the
keel. The
tanks are molded in. The
hull is almost an inch thick soild glass on the bottom. The boats are a little rolly due to the 10'10" beam. Kind of narrow by todays standards.
Draft 5'3", loaded
draft 5'9". They were a little under powered. Mine was refitted with a
Perkins 50hp in the mid 1990s. I have a
3 blade prop 13" X 8" and it will hit 8 knots at 3000
rpm.
Hull speed is a little over 8 knts. The boats are fast, well balanced, handle well, and back up great. The decks are cored with
plywood. Mine has a little
delamination where a previous owner did not seal a hawse pipe to the chain locker. No big deal to replace the
plywood. The
deck stepped
mast has a solid
wood (teak)
compression post. The
cabin sole is 3/8"
teak and holly over
marine ply (over kill). The 2 opening
deck hatches are soild fiberglass with prisms added. They were built for
blue water, but for now I use mine in brown
water. BUC for my boat was $29k bristol, $21k good condition There is a guy in Fla that races his in the nonspinnaker class and he does ok. Let me know if you want any specfic information.
