2004 Regulator 26 Fs

Step aboard and you’ll feel why this classic 26 is so respected by serious anglers. The deep, Carolina-style bow flare throws spray wide, keeping the ride dry when the breeze is up and the chop stacks tight. At the helm, sightlines are excellent whether you’re standing or leaning, and the wide, stable beam makes moving around the console with rods in hand feel secure. The cockpit has that clean, open layout Regulator is known for, with plenty of room to work a fish around the stern. Topside, the hardtop adds shade and mounting space, while the forward seating doubles as a comfortable perch for spotting weedlines or relaxing between runs.

This 26-foot hull is right in the sweet spot for the local mix of shallow approaches, patch reefs, and offshore runs. It’s big enough to confidently cross wind-blown channels and chase pelagics in open water, yet compact enough to tuck into smaller slips and navigate tighter canals. The deep-V bottom softens short, steep chop, which is common when tides and afternoon breeze collide, and the generous bow flare helps keep crew and gear dry on the ride home. Fuel capacity and efficient twin power give you the range to explore distant humps and wrecks without feeling limited by the horizon.
