Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 28 2022 vs Regulator 29FS 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regulator 28 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 28 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 219 gallons in the Regulator 28 2022. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 8 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: The Regulator 28 2022 and Regulator 29FS 2009 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
