When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2008 and the Regal 2700 Bowrider 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 measures 28,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2008 at 22,0 feet (2008). At 38 lbs and 58 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.
The Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 tops out at 420 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 carries 85 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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 2700 Bowrider 2008 caps at 8. 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.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
