Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 vs Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat — the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 or the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013?

The Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 is the longer of the two at 24,3 feet overall. The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 comes in at 22,2 feet, making it roughly 2,1 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 or the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013?

For trailering, the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 has the edge at 39 lbs dry weight versus 458 lbs for the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013. 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 2250 Cuddy 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 1 passengers, while the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 is certified for 13. 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 2250 Cuddy 2012 and Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 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.

Q: How do the fuel tanks compare on the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 and Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013?

Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 54 gallons and 56 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.

Q: Are the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 and Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 and the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 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 2250 Cuddy 2012 vs Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 and the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 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 2250 Cuddy 2012 at 22,2 ft versus Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 at 24,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 tips the scales at 458 lbs — 419 lbs less than the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 at 39 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 24 FasDeck RX 2013 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 24,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
