Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 vs Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat — the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 or the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011?

The Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 is the longer of the two at 28,5 feet overall. The Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 comes in at 22,2 feet, making it roughly 6,3 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 or the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011?

For trailering, the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 has the edge at 38 lbs dry weight versus 605 lbs for the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011. 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: How many people can each boat hold?

The Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 11 passengers, while the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 is certified for 16. 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 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 and Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 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: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 or the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011?

The Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 has the bigger tank at 86 gallons, versus 42 gallons on the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011. That 44-gallon difference translates to roughly 132–220 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 and Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 and the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 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 RX FasDeck 2011 vs Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 and the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 measures 28,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 6,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 at 22,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 tips the scales at 605 lbs — 567 lbs less than the Regal 2220 RX FasDeck 2011 at 38 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Regal 2220 RX 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 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 28,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2220 RX 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.
