Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 26 FS 2011 vs Regulator 31 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regulator 26 FS 2011 vs Regulator 31 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 500 hp, the Regulator 26 FS 2011 has a 200-hp advantage over the Regulator 31 2022's 300-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 2 gal and 3 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regulator 31 2022 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Regulator 26 FS 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regulator 31 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regulator 31 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 31,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regulator 26 FS 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
