Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2200 Bowrider 2007 vs Regal 30 Express 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 2200 Bowrider 2007 vs Regal 30 Express 2013 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 30 Express 2013 measures 29,4 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 7,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2200 Bowrider 2007 at 22,0 feet (2007). At 37 lbs and 94 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 30 Express 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Regal 2200 Bowrider 2007 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 30 Express 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 30 Express 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 29,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2200 Bowrider 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
