Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 28 FS 2011 vs Regulator 37 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regulator 28 FS 2011 vs Regulator 37 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 600 hp, the Regulator 28 FS 2011 has a 175-hp advantage over the Regulator 37 2022's 425-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 37 2022 carries 507 gallons versus 235 gallons in the Regulator 28 FS 2011. 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 37 2022 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Regulator 28 FS 2011 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regulator 37 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regulator 37 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 37,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regulator 28 FS 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
