2004 Regulator Regulator 26 Cc

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 26 feels bigger than her length, with wide walkaround space that lets you work a fish from bow to stern without gymnastics. The helm seats offer a secure perch in the chop, with thoughtful footrests and sightlines that keep gauges and water both in view. Forward, the seating hides practical storage that’s easy to access without moving half the crew. Aft, the cockpit depth gives you that “in the boat” confidence when things kick up or a big fish goes wild. Hardware is overbuilt, from hinges to latches, and the deck layout makes it simple to hose down and head home after a long day.

This 26 is tailor-made for the mix of nearshore runs and longer hauls common in these waters. The hull’s ride lets you punch through afternoon wind chop without beating up crew or gear, while still being nimble enough to work inlets, bays, and tight marinas. Her size is a sweet spot: easy to trailer, simple for a small crew to handle, yet substantial enough to feel secure when the breeze freshens and the swell stands up. Generous fuel capacity and efficient power mean you can chase distant bait schools or reef edges, then slip back into skinny approaches with confidence.
