Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regulator 31 2017 vs Regulator 34SS 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regulator 31 2017 vs Regulator 34SS 2010 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 350 hp, the Regulator 34SS 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the Regulator 31 2017's 300-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 34SS 2010 carries 38 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Regulator 31 2017. 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 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Regulator 31 2017 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regulator 34SS 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regulator 34SS 2010 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 31 2017 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
