My first boat was a used 1999 2150 LSC. Great boat.
Now I have a 2003 2465.
Selling the 2465 to move overseas. Probably look for a used boat in the 30-36 foot range upon repatriation.

Our 1989 Regal 280 Commodore is our first Regal.
We kinda hate to get rid of it - which makes trading up to a newer larger boat a tough decision - since we still like it so much.
She should still have many good years left in her.

Shheeeaaahhhh! Right.
My only Regal was a 2001 2465 in 2005 with 39 hours on her. Once I dialed in the prop, she ran like a scalded rat at 2 MPG. Damn fine boat. I traded her for a '99 330 Dancer. Three reasons.
1. Regals in that size were out of my price range. Regal was definitely a nicer boat inside.
2. Center windshield walk through, low railings and no walkaround to negotiate dockings.
3. No trade in's accepted at Mears Point. When I told them I had a Regal to trade, I was treated as a bastard stepchild and was obviously just a poser not worthy of their time. I guess I was supposed to be impressed by his gold chains and Rolex. Very bad taste in my mouth from that and that was 2 years ago.

Last August 2006 I purchased my first boat since getting rid of my 20 foot Hobie cat back in 1999.
She was a very well kept 1994 Sea Ray 270 Sundancer 27 foot...Put 50 hours on her between August and April...
Traded up for a 1999 Regal 292 Commodore, our present "Baby Gator".
Simply no comparison.
We looked at a 2001 Sea Ray 280 'Dancer but the Sea Ray dealer had the '99 Regal 292 with my name all over it.
I almost bought a 2000 2760 from the Regal dealer 2 years ago, but it was just out of my price range...when Sea Ray offered me a heck of a trade, we jumped at the opportunity.
Since making the jump to Regal, we couldn't be happier! Fit, Finish, Styling, Features...All top notch compared to the local competition - Sea Ray, Larson, Rinker, Bayliner, Maxum are all the main local brands besides Regal.
Then I found you guys...so when the wife doesn't want to go out on the water, I can still relax with my time!

I am definately learning...here are a few for everyone's pleasure:
1st, for Comparison purposes: The old Sea Ray
Now the 292 Commodore:
I think we did ok moving up to a Regal. Not that I have anything against Sea Ray; actually mechanically the '94 Dancer was in much better shape than the 92 hour '99 292 we bought...we've had to pour a good bit into it to bring her up to snuff mechanically as many on here have heard. :)

Did some one mention Rinker & Bayliner in the same sentence w/ Regal. I thought this thread would have people that actually knew something about boats.
I have had a few Whalers a Grady and a Tiara. Just bought a 08 Regal 3760, it's a step down in Quality from the Tiara but w/ 420hp IOs it is alot more fun. Doesn't fish as well but thats not the prioriy it once was.

I suppose I have to weigh in since Rommer is counting. I have owned a 94 233. That was our first cruiser which we purchased after our house boating group broke-up. We found we liked getting away from everything on the water. So a cruiser was the logical choice. Then in 1996 Regal came out with the 292. We wanted one and it took another 2 years to buy the new 292. We still have it and tow it to many exciting places. I have been thinking about a bigger Regal, the 3360 but I would really like the 3760. Either way, I would need a bigger truck to pull either one and my wife says no new truck! So we will keep the 292 which has been a fantastic boat for the size.

I realize this has been a topic for quite a while, however I just bought my 1st Regal. I looked at virtually everything on the market and decided on a 4460 with IPS. Cant wait til spring. This will be my wifes and I 14th boat in the last 26 yrs. From what I can see it will match up to most anything on the production line.
Cant wait!

My first boat was a Bayliner 2655 which I had for a couple years. I then bought my 95 Regal 322 in 2003 and couldn't be happier. I've considered moving up (newer, bigger) many times, but haven't done so.....yet. Last year I added an extended swim platform and it's been the best upgrade I could ever imagine.

One but the wife had me trade it, worked out as the insurance company was trying to screw me on a repair. I miss the quality and well, regality of a Regal. We went up in size and paid for it by going down in quality. Bought a Maxum, not a bad boat and suits us fine but the number one place I notice a huge difference is hull quality. The marine inspector that came out told me how much he loved the solid glass hull of the early 90's Regals.

We've had a blow boat and 4 power. The Regal 98 292 Commodore is our newest and first Regal. It won't be the last! At 50+ years, I've been on a lot of boats over the years and have been boating since a little lad. Everything about this boat is perfect. This year or next, we will be going up in size and it too will be a Regal - without question! Yes, a tiny bit of money has been spent on maintaining it (well ok, a ton of money) but given where we keep it and the environment it's run in, it has been a jewel.

Going for my Fifth boat but first REGAL Commodore 2760 1998 7.4 Merc Bravo III. Sea trial is next week March 31 in Kilmarnoc, VA. After reading you posts I feel good about the boat.
