Regal 23 OBX: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Regal 23 OBX is a thoughtfully designed deck boat that combines increased interior space with mechanical simplicity by returning to outboard power. This model offers a blend of modern features and traditional Regal quality, making it easier to maintain while providing ample room and versatility for recreational boating.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

Despite utilizing outboard power, the 23 OBX maintains a spacious stern area typically associated with stern drive boats, featuring a wide transom patio with curved edges that comfortably seats four people. The swim platform includes two side extensions measuring three feet in length and two feet in width, complete with a freshwater shower and walk-around capability. Storage is abundant beneath the seats, including dedicated compartments for coolers and batteries, while stainless steel drink holders and rod holders add functional convenience. Entry into the cockpit is facilitated by a flip-up seat back that can be lowered to create wraparound seating, complemented by an optional teak pedestal table for dining. The cockpit also offers cavernous storage spaces, including room for a 36-quart cooler, and an optional ski tow pylon with an elevated tow point nearly seven feet above the deck. An optional power tower with bimini tops fore and aft can be lowered electronically, allowing operation under low bridges without sacrificing helm accessibility.

Interior Features and Quality

The 23 OBX showcases Regal's commitment to quality through stainless steel accents, durable 32-ounce upholstery with a protective UV and stain-resistant top coat, double stitching, and custom embroidery. Optional seagrass carpeting with padding enhances comfort and aesthetics. The bow area, characteristic of a deck boat with an 8-foot 6-inch beam extending forward, offers six feet of width between rear bolsters and nearly five feet at the bow, creating a spacious alfresco dining area with an optional pedestal table. Non-skid surfaces and multiple storage compartments port and starboard enhance safety and utility, while courtesy lighting extends usability into the evening. A flush-mounted hatch with a lift-and-lock latch provides access to the swim ladder and anchor locker, with integrated trailer light electrical connections conveniently located nearby.

Helm and Control Systems

The helm features a dark-toned, vinyl-wrapped dashboard and steering wheel mounted on a tilt base connected to C-Star hydraulic steering, offering precise control. Instrumentation includes rocker switches on both sides, a Fusion stereo system, a standard depth gauge, fuel gauge, and a GPS Map 7607 unit that integrates engine data with navigation. Additional conveniences include a 12-volt accessory plug and a full wraparound windshield with zero distortion at the edges. The helm seat is a wraparound bucket style with a flip-up bolster and an open back for ventilation, accompanied by storage and stainless steel drink holders.

Power and Performance

Powered by a single 250 horsepower Yamaha four-stroke outboard turning a 20-inch pitch propeller, the Regal 23 OBX measures 23 feet 2 inches in length overall with an 8-foot 6-inch beam and a 36-inch draft. The boat's empty weight is 3,900 pounds, with a test weight of approximately 4,649 pounds including fuel and passengers. During sea trials, the boat achieved a top speed just under 50 miles per hour at 5,700 RPM. The most efficient cruising speed was 23.9 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, consuming 7.3 gallons per hour and providing a range of 217 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 73-gallon capacity. The hull's stepped fast track design delivers the characteristic Regal smoothness, light handling, and balanced tracking with minimal chine walk even during aggressive turns. Trim adjustments effectively manage bow attitude and prevent prop ventilation.

Conclusion

The Regal 23 OBX successfully combines functional interior space, high-quality finishes, and the mechanical advantages of outboard power with the refined handling and performance expected from Regal Boats. Its versatile layout, thoughtful storage solutions, and efficient powertrain make it a compelling choice for boaters seeking a comfortable and easy-to-maintain deck boat. Overall, the 23 OBX delivers a well-rounded boating experience with the hallmark Regal smoothness and attention to detail.
