2014 Regulator 28 Forward SeatingSold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam and deep cockpit give everyone room to move when the bite turns on. The forward seating isn’t just for lounging; those high backrests and insulated boxes pull double duty as dry storage and fish or drink coolers. At the helm, the hefty wheel, ergonomic throttle placement, and rock-solid footrest make long runs comfortable, while the tall windshield keeps the worst of the spray off your crew. Under the console, there’s a surprisingly spacious head compartment with room for gear bags and extra tackle. The level of fit and finish—from hardware to hatches—speaks to a boat built to be run hard and cleaned up easily at day’s end.

This 28 is tailor-made for the mix of nearshore structure, open sounds, and offshore grounds in the region. Its hull handles short, stacked chop without beating you up, yet it’s efficient enough to make regular runs to deeper water reasonable. The size is ideal for slipping into tighter marinas and shallow approaches, while still offering the range and offshore confidence of a bigger hull. Ample rod storage, a serious livewell, and generous fish boxes match the diverse local fisheries, from inshore predators to pelagic runs. When the weather turns, the secure bow flare and deep cockpit give you the security you want getting home.
