When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2100 RX 2010 and the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 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 RX 2010 at 21,0 ft versus Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 tips the scales at 387 lbs — 353 lbs less than the Regal 2100 RX 2010 at 34 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Regal 2100 RX 2010 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 could be the deciding factor.
