Q: Which is the larger boat - the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 or the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011?

The Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 is the longer of the two at 25,3 feet overall. The Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 comes in at 24,3 feet, making it roughly 1,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer - the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 or the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011?

For trailering, the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 has the edge at 4 580 lbs dry weight versus 4 850 lbs for the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011. 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 24 FasDeck RX 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 13 passengers, while the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 is certified for 14.

Q: Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?

Both the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 and Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.6 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: Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 or the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011?

The Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 has the bigger tank at 62 gallons, versus 56 gallons on the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013. That 6-gallon difference translates to roughly 18–30 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 and Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 from the same manufacturer?

Yes - both the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 and the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 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 24 FasDeck RX 2013 vs Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011: A Close Look at Two Deep-V Boats

Both the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 and the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 at 24,3 ft versus Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 at 25,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 tips the scales at 4 850 lbs - 270 lbs less than the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 at 4 580 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 2520 FasDeck 2011 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2520 FasDeck 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 14 passengers and at 25,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 24 FasDeck RX 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.
