Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 23 2022 vs Regulator 28 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regulator 23 2022 vs Regulator 28 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regulator 28 2022 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Regulator 23 2022 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regulator 28 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regulator 28 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 28,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regulator 23 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
