Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2500 Bowrider 2013 vs Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2500 Bowrider 2013 and the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013 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 2500 Bowrider 2013 at 26,3 ft versus Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013 at 28,5 ft. At 46 lbs and 61 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.
Both boats are rated for 8 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013 at 28,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2500 Bowrider 2013 at 26,3 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
