Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2100 Bowrider 2012 vs Regal 2250 Cuddy 2013 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2100 Bowrider 2012 and the Regal 2250 Cuddy 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Regal 2100 Bowrider 2012 at 21,0 ft versus Regal 2250 Cuddy 2013 at 22,2 ft. At 35 lbs and 39 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 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.
Bottom line: The Regal 2100 Bowrider 2012 and Regal 2250 Cuddy 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
