Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2200 RS 2009 vs Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012: Which Deep-V Boat Fits Your Needs?
Both the Regal 2200 RS 2009 and the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 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 42 Sport Coupe 2012 measures 42,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 20,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2200 RS 2009 at 22,2 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 tips the scales at 20 500 lbs - 16 800 lbs less than the Regal 2200 RS 2009 at 3 700 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 2200 RS 2009 is rated for up to 10 people. Passenger data for the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 at 42,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2200 RS 2009 at 22,2 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.
