Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 3550 Cuddy 2012 vs Regal Boats 28 Express SOLD 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 3550 Cuddy 2012 vs Regal Boats 28 Express SOLD 2022 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 SOLD 2022 tops out at 350 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 3550 Cuddy 2012 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 3550 Cuddy 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Regal Boats 28 Express SOLD 2022 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 3550 Cuddy 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 3550 Cuddy 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 34,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal Boats 28 Express SOLD 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
