Regal makes family boats that save fuel and go fast for their engine Hp. You should buy and pay less for a smaller engine and go just as fast while using less fuel because of the Regal Fast Trac hull bottom that is special to see and took years to develop and refine at Regal Boats.

In the Regal 2300 bowrider the Fast Trac hull really shines. Take a ride to feel this for yourself. It is an award-winning design that pays off everyday you are on the water. She gives a special experience for a 24’ LOA bowrider.

The next thing that any Regal boats bowrider boat discussion must include is the up-scale features that come standard with the boat. SS bows in the standard Bimini top (not aluminum), a 54 gallon fuel tank, an onboard fresh water supply, stainless steel hinges in the cockpit, docking lights, SS hand rails, depth gauge, cockpit carpet, tilt on the helm wheel, flip-up bolster seating for the co-captain and the captain, auto fire set-up, battery switch, SS detailing on the windshield,…the list goes on. These very well may be options or even not available on other boats that come standard with the Regal 2300.

Note…Do not pass over a full review of the folding arch tower when you inspect the boat for yourself.

Pick a DuoProp sterndrive (outdrive) from Volvo-Penta matched up to either a 300 or 320 Hp Volvo marinized Chevrolet engine (these are 350 cu. in. engines with different internal parts to develop their Hp and Torque at different rpm levels to match up the power package of Volvo engine, Volvo DuoProp, and the 3,900 lb boat to deliver what you want, when you want it to a captital T.

Also, remember, the stripe and the gelcoat hull color molded in while the hull is being first molded. Seabuddy (Chris Brown) likes either red or the black, personally.

Why does this Regal run faster with 50 less Hp than other 24 degree deep, deep vees?

Their work on fine tuning this hull. She has a very deep vee for a soft ride and wave splitting. That usually means that a bow rider takes MORE Hp to run at the same speed as a similar size boat with less of a deep vee.

So how does Regal do it? They took a race boat idea that has been around for 100 years, but banned from sanctioned races for much of that time, as it proved to be the way to make a boat faster at WOT and even lessen how much fuel a racer used.

After being a family owned and operated boat builder since 1969 (they still are today), they tamed the racer secret for family boating with a twist towards extra speed and lower fuel burn in 1996. Now they brought that thinking to the 2700 bow rider, here. Why do some other types of GoFast boats use this trick and not all the fellas? It can be a handful to control for some drivers if its not done correctly which comes from lots of expensive testing, tweaking, and re-testing. This money needs to be spendt before any bow rider boats of a given model are sold. That makes for a very high cost development program.

Is it all about top speed numbers? No. This boat cruises from around 25 mph and all the way up 45 – 50 mph with outstanding fuel economy. To achieve this in a family boat is outstanding!

What is the biggest thing to you can see that exhibits the special hull that Regal now offers in their 2700 bow rider? Look for that break or STEP all the way across the hull bottom about in the middle of the hull. Yep, its easy to spot for yourself. What you can not easily see is the fine tuning of how deep, broad and vented that step is and how the running surface has been tweaked before and after that full-width step that got it to work safely and give the performance improvement.

Get the 375 Hp engine and a Volvo DP (Duo Prop) inboard outboard drive for this kind of performance, which is an upgrade from the base 300 Hp. That is about a $9, 000 cost before discounts, but it makes the boat sing for family use and gives Dad a push in his back when he pushes the throttle down.

What else? The VacuFlush system. It’s the only way to go for seabuddy.

Only two options? Yup, Regal throws in everything else and more as standard with every bow rider 2700 boat  BTW, she measures 28′ 6″ LOA.
