Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2100 Bowrider 2012 vs Regal 35 Express 2011 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2100 Bowrider 2012 and the Regal 35 Express 2011 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 35 Express 2011 measures 34,7 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 13,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2100 Bowrider 2012 at 21,0 feet (2012). At 35 lbs and 135 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.
The Regal 2100 Bowrider 2012 is rated for up to 1 people. Passenger data for the Regal 35 Express 2011 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 35 Express 2011 at 34,7 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2100 Bowrider 2012 at 21,0 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.
