Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010 vs Regal Boats 28 Express 2017 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010 vs Regal Boats 28 Express 2017 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Regal Boats 28 Express 2017 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal Boats 28 Express 2017 carries 73 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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 Boats 28 Express 2017 at 29,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010 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.
