The Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 is the longer of the two at 27,3 feet overall. The Regal 2220 FasDeck 2011 comes in at 22,2 feet, making it roughly 5,1 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

The Regal 2220 FasDeck 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 11 passengers, while the Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 is certified for 14.

Both the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2011 and Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 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.

Yes — both the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2011 and the Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 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 2220 FasDeck 2011 vs Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2011 and the Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 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 27 FasDeck RX 2012 measures 27,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 5,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2011 at 22,2 feet (2011). At 38 lbs and 55 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 27 FasDeck RX 2012 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Regal 2220 FasDeck 2011 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 27,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2220 FasDeck 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
