Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 vs Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 and the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 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 3200 Bowrider 2013 measures 32,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 11,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 at 20,2 feet (2012). At 35 lbs and 9 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.

Both boats are rated for 9 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 3200 Bowrider 2013 at 32,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 at 20,2 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.

Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 vs Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 or the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013?
The Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 is the longer of the two at 32,0 feet overall. The Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 comes in at 20,2 feet, making it roughly 11,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 or the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013?
For trailering, the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 has the edge at 9 lbs dry weight versus 35 lbs for the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 is certified for 9. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 measures 124" wide, compared to 102" for the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 or the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013?
The Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 has the bigger tank at 153 gallons, versus 42 gallons on the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012. That 111-gallon difference translates to roughly 333–555 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 and Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Regal 2000 Bowrider 2012 and the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 are built by Regal. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
