Both the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2013 and the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2009 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Regal 1900 Bowrider 2013 at 19,8 ft versus Regal 2000 Bowrider 2009 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2009 tips the scales at 3 500 lbs - 400 lbs less than the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2013 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 2000 Bowrider 2009 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2009 could be the deciding factor.
