Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 23 2022 vs Regulator 29FS 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regulator 23 2022 vs Regulator 29FS 2009 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 29FS 2009 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 29FS 2009 carries 285 gallons versus 149 gallons in the Regulator 23 2022. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regulator 29FS 2009 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 29FS 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regulator 29FS 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 29,0 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.
