When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 24 FasDeck 2013 and the Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2009 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 24 FasDeck 2013 at 24,3 ft versus Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2009 at 25,3 ft. At 432 lbs and 485 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2009 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Regal 24 FasDeck 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 RX FasDeck 2009 could be the deciding factor.
