Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 29 FS 2011 vs Regulator 34SS 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regulator 29 FS 2011 against a modified vee Regulator 34SS 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regulator 34SS 2011 measures 33,8 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 4,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regulator 29 FS 2011 at 29,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regulator 34SS 2011 tips the scales at 11 115 lbs — 3 099 lbs less than the Regulator 29 FS 2011 at 8 016 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.
The Regulator 29 FS 2011 carries a rated maximum of 600 hp. Engine data for the Regulator 34SS 2011 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regulator 29 FS 2011 carries 285 gallons versus 38 gallons in the Regulator 34SS 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 34SS 2011 is rated for 11 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 34SS 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regulator 34SS 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 33,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regulator 29 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.
