Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Regal 1900 RS 2009 vs Regal 2700 ES 2009 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 1900 RS 2009 and the Regal 2700 ES 2009 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 2700 ES 2009 measures 28,5 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 8,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 1900 RS 2009 at 19,8 feet (2009). At 31 lbs and 58 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 2700 ES 2009 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Regal 1900 RS 2009 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2700 ES 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2700 ES 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 28,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 1900 RS 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
