Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 vs Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 and the Regal 3550 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 35 Sport Coupe 2012 at 36,8 ft versus Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 at 34,7 ft. At 129 lbs and 114 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Bottom line: The Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 at 36,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 at 34,7 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.

Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 vs Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 or the Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013?
The Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 is the longer of the two at 36,8 feet overall. The Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 comes in at 34,7 feet, making it roughly 2,2 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 or the Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013?
For trailering, the Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 has the edge at 114 lbs dry weight versus 129 lbs for the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many passengers can the Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 carry?
The Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 has an official capacity rating of 10 people. Capacity data wasn't available for the other model in this comparison — verify directly with the dealer.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 and Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 share an 11 ft. 4 in. (3.45 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 or the Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013?
The Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 has the bigger tank at 186 gallons, versus 168 gallons on the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012. That 18-gallon difference translates to roughly 54–90 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 and Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 and the Regal 3550 Cuddy 2013 are built by Regal. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
