Regal has 9 USCG recalls on record across 3,818 registered hulls, a relatively low rate for a builder of this scale. Most Regals run gas outboards or sterndrives, so ownership costs center on engine service, gel coat maintenance, and upholstery care typical of fiberglass sport boats. Parts availability is good for common models like the 28 Express.
Common problems to inspect on a used Regal
- Transom and stringer integrity on older hulls, especially those stored in water year round
- Sterndrive bellows cracks and gimbal bearing wear on inboard models
- Gel coat crazing and deck delamination from UV exposure
- Trim tab actuator corrosion and wiring issues in saltwater use

Frequently asked questions
Are Regal boats good quality?
Regal builds midrange fiberglass sport boats with consistent fit and finish. The 9 recalls over 3,818 registered hulls is a low rate, and recent models (2018 to 2022) are common in the used market, indicating steady buyer confidence.
What is the resale value of a Regal boat?
Used Regals range from $14,000 to $89,900 across 433 active listings, with a median of $31,950. Resale holds best for well maintained gas models in the 24 to 28 ft range, which dominate the fleet.
How long do Regal boats last?
A well maintained Regal can deliver 20 to 30 years of service. Hulls from 2008 remain common in the registered fleet, and fiberglass longevity depends more on storage, maintenance, and engine care than the hull itself.
Do Regal boats hold their value?
Regal depreciation follows typical sport boat curves, with steeper drops in the first five years and stabilization after ten. The active used market (433 listings) and strong representation of recent years suggest steady demand for clean examples.
