All of the boats start with 3 ounces of mat wet out in vinylester resin (not just sprayed on) over the gelcoat to help prevent osmotic blistering and improve the cosmetic finish by reducing print-through.  All of the hulls are supported by female-molded fiberglass grids, which produce a consistent hull support structure and foundation for the deck and fuel tanks while providing a tooled bilge back aft. The grids are also designed to double as rigging tubes, which allow wires and hoses to be routed. Once they are bonded in place, the grids are filled with foam to add flotation, stiffen the grid structure and quiet the ride. The Eastern 31 and 35 hulls, decks and bulkheads are cored with Nida-Core, a high-end plastic honeycomb structural core that also does a great job of reducing noise in the hull bottom and sides. Two layers of 1808 (a non-woven fiberglass reinforcement) go on inside and outside of the core. The hull is solid glass at the sheer, chines and keel to accept fasteners and resist compression. All of the boats get Nida-Core cored bulkheads and decks, and it’s this use of relatively high-tech materials that makes the boats so much lighter than they would be with solid fiberglass or plywood cored structures.

One of the truly remarkable features of the Eastern 31 is the ability to have the boat built to suit your needs and intended use. The factory takes great pride in its ability to provide semi-custom versatility at a very reasonable price. These are not cookie-cutter boats that "must" be built a certain way, because that is how the tooling is built.  The 31 can be arranged for Lobstering, Fishing, Cruising, or a combination of uses.
