Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 1900 Bowrider 2010 vs Regal 24 FasDeck 2012: Which Deep-V Boat Fits Your Needs?
Both the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2010 and the Regal 24 FasDeck 2012 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 24 FasDeck 2012 measures 24,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 4,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2010 at 19,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 24 FasDeck 2012 tips the scales at 3 800 lbs - 700 lbs less than the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2010 at 3 100 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 24 FasDeck 2012 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 24 FasDeck 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 24 FasDeck 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 11 passengers and at 24,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 1900 Bowrider 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
