Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2012 vs Regal Boats 2800 Bowrider 2018 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2012 vs Regal Boats 2800 Bowrider 2018 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Regal Boats 2800 Bowrider 2018 tops out at 380 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2012 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal Boats 2800 Bowrider 2018 carries 108 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2012.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal Boats 2800 Bowrider 2018 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2012 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal Boats 2800 Bowrider 2018 could be the deciding factor.
