Lobster style hull as a troller?

Came across a nice older model Eastern 22 lobster 135 hp mercruiser and was wondering how these hulls do for trolling. Would like some input.

Thanks.

When I purchased my Arima Sea Ranger, I had to decide between it and an Eastern. The Eastern will be a fantastic boat to troll Champlain or the Great Lakes.

If the dealer would have given a little on his price, I would be the proud owner of an Eastern 22!

Arima & Easterns are top not. I see some Arimas down in PA that are leftovers that I would like to tow home.

I haven't tried yet but plan to find out very soon. I can tell you though that Easterns are seaworthy as hell though. My newer 18 has been staring at me from the trailer all damn morning

Seaway 19's and 21's are nice too. My neighbor had one for a while.

Harry do keep in the back of your mind, that my Arima may be going on the block this summer still. I am still having some medical issues that may force me to sell her. I will probably decide in late June or July; but right now it seems to be a real possibility, as much as I hate to admit it.
