Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2013 vs Regal 35 Express 2011 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2013 and the Regal 35 Express 2011 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 35 Express 2011 measures 34,7 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 6,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2013 at 28,5 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2013 tips the scales at 605 lbs — 470 lbs more than the Regal 35 Express 2011 at 135 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.
The Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2013 is rated for up to 8 people. Passenger data for the Regal 35 Express 2011 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 35 Express 2011 at 34,7 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2013 at 28,5 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.
