Regulator 34 SS 2012 vs Regulator 34SS 2011: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats

Both the Regulator 34 SS 2012 and the Regulator 34SS 2011 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Regulator 34 SS 2012 at 33,8 ft versus Regulator 34SS 2011 at 33,8 ft. At 11 115 lbs and 11 115 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats are rated for 11 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 34 SS 2012 and Regulator 34SS 2011 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.

Regulator 34 SS 2012 vs Regulator 34SS 2011 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Regulator 34 SS 2012 or the Regulator 34SS 2011?
The Regulator 34SS 2011 is the longer of the two at 33,8 feet overall. The Regulator 34 SS 2012 comes in at 33,8 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Regulator 34 SS 2012 or the Regulator 34SS 2011?
For trailering, the Regulator 34SS 2011 has the edge at 11 115 lbs dry weight versus 11 115 lbs for the Regulator 34 SS 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Regulator 34 SS 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 11 passengers, while the Regulator 34SS 2011 is certified for 11. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Regulator 34 SS 2012 and Regulator 34SS 2011 share an 10 ft. 11 in. beam - meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
How do the fuel tanks compare on the Regulator 34 SS 2012 and Regulator 34SS 2011?
Both boats carry similar fuel loads - 380 gallons and 380 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.
Are the Regulator 34 SS 2012 and Regulator 34SS 2011 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Regulator 34 SS 2012 and the Regulator 34SS 2011 are built by Regulator. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
