Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 vs Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 vs Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 measures 26,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 at 22,0 feet (2008). At 395 lbs and 465 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 2250 Cuddy 2008 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 carries 68 gallons versus 54 gallons in the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 1 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Bottom line: The Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 at 26,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 at 22,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.

Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 vs Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 or the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007?
The Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 is the longer of the two at 26,0 feet overall. The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 comes in at 22,0 feet, making it roughly 4,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 or the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007?
For trailering, the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 has the edge at 395 lbs dry weight versus 465 lbs for the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007. 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.
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 2400 Bowrider 2007 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 1 passengers, while the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 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.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 and Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.5 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.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 or the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007?
The Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 has the bigger tank at 68 gallons, versus 54 gallons on the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008. That 14-gallon difference translates to roughly 42–70 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 and Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 and the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2007 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.
