Regal 2200 RX 2009 vs Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat — the Regal 2200 RX 2009 or the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008?

The Regal 2200 RX 2009 is the longer of the two at 22,2 feet overall. The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 comes in at 22,0 feet, making it roughly 0,2 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 2200 RX 2009 or the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008?

For trailering, the Regal 2200 RX 2009 has the edge at 37 lbs dry weight versus 395 lbs for the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.

Q: What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 has a documented max rating of 320 hp. Engine specifications for the Regal 2200 RX 2009 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Regal 2200 RX 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 is certified for 1. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?

Both the Regal 2200 RX 2009 and Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.6 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: How do the fuel tanks compare on the Regal 2200 RX 2009 and Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008?

Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 54 gallons and 54 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.

Q: Are the Regal 2200 RX 2009 and Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Regal 2200 RX 2009 and the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 are built by Regal. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Regal 2200 RX 2009 vs Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2200 RX 2009 and the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 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 2200 RX 2009 at 22,2 ft versus Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 tips the scales at 395 lbs — 358 lbs less than the Regal 2200 RX 2009 at 37 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 2250 Cuddy 2008 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2200 RX 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 54 gal and 54 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 2200 RX 2009 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2200 RX 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2200 RX 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 22,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
