When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2100 Bowrider 2011 and the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Regal 2100 Bowrider 2011 at 21,0 ft versus Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 tips the scales at 395 lbs — 360 lbs less than the Regal 2100 Bowrider 2011 at 35 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 2250 Cuddy 2008 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2100 Bowrider 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 carries 54 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Regal 2100 Bowrider 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 1 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.
