Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
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.
