When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2008 and the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2011 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 2220 FasDeck 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Regal 2250 Cuddy 2011 at 22,2 ft. At 38 lbs and 39 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 2220 FasDeck 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2011 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2008 could be the deciding factor.
