Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 24 FS 2012 vs Regulator 24XO 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regulator 24 FS 2012 vs Regulator 24XO 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the Regulator 24 FS 2012 has a 50-hp advantage over the Regulator 24XO 2022's 300-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regulator 24XO 2022 carries 86 gallons versus 15 gallons in the Regulator 24 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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Regulator 24 FS 2012 and its 350-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Regulator 24XO 2022 with its 300-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
