Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2013 vs Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2013 and the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 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 35 Sport Coupe 2012 measures 36,8 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 12,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2013 at 24,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2013 tips the scales at 428 lbs — 299 lbs more than the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 at 129 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.
The Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2013 is rated for up to 12 people. Passenger data for the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 at 36,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2013 at 24,0 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.
