Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 vs Regal Boats 42 Fly 2020 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 vs Regal Boats 42 Fly 2020 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal Boats 42 Fly 2020 measures 42,0 feet overall (2020), giving it roughly 14,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 at 28,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal Boats 42 Fly 2020 tips the scales at 27 500 lbs — 27 442 lbs less than the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 at 58 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 12 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 Boats 42 Fly 2020 at 42,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2700 Bowrider 2007 at 28,0 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.
