Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 vs Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010: A Close Look at Two Deep-V Boats

Both the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 and the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 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 2400 Bowrider 2008 at 26,0 ft versus Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 at 28,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 tips the scales at 6 100 lbs - 1 450 lbs less than the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 at 4 650 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 2400 Bowrider 2008 carries a rated maximum of 375 hp. Engine data for the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 carries 86 gallons versus 68 gallons in the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 vs Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 or the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010?
The Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 is the longer of the two at 28,5 feet overall. The Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 comes in at 26,0 feet, making it roughly 2,5 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 or the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010?
For trailering, the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 has the edge at 4 650 lbs dry weight versus 6 100 lbs for the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010. 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.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?
The Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 has a documented max rating of 375 hp. Engine specifications for the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 were not available in our database - check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 is certified for 9. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 and Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.5 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.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 or the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010?
The Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 has the bigger tank at 86 gallons, versus 68 gallons on the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008. That 18-gallon difference translates to roughly 54–90 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 and Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 and the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2010 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.
