The Regulator 29 FS 2011 vs Regulator 32C 2007 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Regulator 29 FS 2011 at 29,0 ft versus Regulator 32C 2007 at 32,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regulator 29 FS 2011 tips the scales at 8 016 lbs — 7 942 lbs more than the Regulator 32C 2007 at 74 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 600 hp for the Regulator 29 FS 2011 and 600 hp for the Regulator 32C 2007. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regulator 29 FS 2011 carries 285 gallons versus 31 gallons in the Regulator 32C 2007. 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 32C 2007 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Regulator 29 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 32C 2007 could be the deciding factor.
