The Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2012 vs Regal Boats 30 Express 2016 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.
The Regal Boats 30 Express 2016 tops out at 250 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2012 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2012 could be the deciding factor.
