Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 1900 Bowrider 2012 vs Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013: Which Deep-V Boat Fits Your Needs?
Both the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2012 and the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013 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 2750 Cuddy 2013 measures 28,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 8,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2012 at 19,8 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013 tips the scales at 6 100 lbs - 3 000 lbs less than the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2012 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.
Both boats are rated for 8 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013 at 28,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 1900 Bowrider 2012 at 19,8 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
