Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 vs Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2011: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 is a deep-V design and the Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2011 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2011 measures 53,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 26,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 at 26,3 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2011 tips the scales at 34 400 lbs - 29 400 lbs less than the Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 at 5 000 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 52 Sport Coupe 2011 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 16 passengers and at 53,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
