When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 27 FasDeck 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 27 FasDeck 2013 at 27,3 ft versus Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013 at 28,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 27 FasDeck 2013 tips the scales at 535 lbs — 474 lbs more than the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2013 at 61 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.

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.
