Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2012 vs Regal 2520 FasDeck (2008) 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2012 vs Regal 2520 FasDeck (2008) 2007 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 2520 FasDeck (2008) 2007 measures 25,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 5,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2012 at 19,8 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2520 FasDeck (2008) 2007 tips the scales at 465 lbs — 434 lbs less than the Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2012 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2012 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Regal 2520 FasDeck (2008) 2007 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 1900 RS Bowrider 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2520 FasDeck (2008) 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
