Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 vs Regal Boats 28 Express 2017 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 vs Regal Boats 28 Express 2017 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.
The Regal Boats 28 Express 2017 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 carries 85 gallons versus 73 gallons in the Regal Boats 28 Express 2017. 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 2700 Bowrider 2007 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Regal Boats 28 Express 2017 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 28,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal Boats 28 Express 2017 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
