Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 23 2022 vs Regulator 26 FS 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regulator 23 2022 vs Regulator 26 FS 2012 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 Regulator 26 FS 2012 tops out at 500 hp. Engine specs for the Regulator 23 2022 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regulator 23 2022 carries 149 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Regulator 26 FS 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 7 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 Regulator 26 FS 2012 at 25,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regulator 23 2022 at 23,0 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.
