Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2450 Cuddy 2007 vs Regal 2750 Cuddy 2011: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 2450 Cuddy 2007 vs Regal 2750 Cuddy 2011 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Regal 2450 Cuddy 2007 at 26,0 ft versus Regal 2750 Cuddy 2011 at 28,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2011 tips the scales at 6 100 lbs - 1 450 lbs less than the Regal 2450 Cuddy 2007 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 2750 Cuddy 2011 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Regal 2450 Cuddy 2007 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 9 passengers and at 28,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2450 Cuddy 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
