Both the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2011 and the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 3200 Bowrider 2013 measures 32,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2011 at 24,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 tips the scales at 9 000 lbs - 5 020 lbs less than the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2011 at 3 980 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 2300 Bowrider 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2011 could be the deciding factor.
