Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010 vs Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010 and the Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — 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 46 Sport Coupe 2012 measures 46,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 26,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010 at 19,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 tips the scales at 253 lbs — 222 lbs less than the Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010 at 31 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.
The Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2010 is rated for up to 8 people. Passenger data for the Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 at 46,0 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.
