Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 28 FS 2012 vs Regulator 34 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regulator 28 FS 2012 vs Regulator 34 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 Regulator 28 FS 2012 carries a rated maximum of 600 hp. Engine data for the Regulator 34 2022 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regulator 28 FS 2012 carries 235 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Regulator 34 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 34 2022 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Regulator 28 FS 2012 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regulator 34 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regulator 34 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 34,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regulator 28 FS 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
