Both the Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2013 and the Regal 2450 Cuddy 2008 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 2450 Cuddy 2008 measures 26,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2013 at 21,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2450 Cuddy 2008 tips the scales at 4 650 lbs - 1 000 lbs less than the Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2013 at 3 650 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 2450 Cuddy 2008 tops out at 375 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2013 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2450 Cuddy 2008 carries 68 gallons versus 40 gallons in the Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Regal 2450 Cuddy 2008 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2100 RX Bowrider 2013 could be the deciding factor.
