2017 Regal 28 Express Boat in Saint Petersburg, FL 33706 US

f you're looking for a trailerable express cruiser that perfectly blends performance, comfort, and premium craftsmanship, this 2017 Regal 28 Express checks every box. Powered by the upgraded Volvo Penta 6.2L V8 paired with the Duoprop sterndrive, this boat delivers impressive acceleration, exceptional fuel efficiency for its class, and precise low-speed maneuverability. With only 230 original engine hours, this Regal has been lightly used and exceptionally cared for.

One of Regal's standout features is the UltraLounge transom seating system, an innovative multi-position lounge that transforms from a spacious sun pad into comfortable cockpit seating with an adjustable four-position backrest. Whether you're relaxing at the sandbar, entertaining guests, or watching the sunset from the swim platform, the UltraLounge maximizes every inch of cockpit space.

Adding both style and practicality is the optional PowerTower, a $7,692 factory upgrade that electrically lowers and raises with the push of a button. This feature makes bridge clearance effortless while also simplifying dry-stack storage, indoor storage, and highway transport without sacrificing the sleek sport profile that Regal is known for.

Below deck, the 28 Express feels much larger than its size suggests. Regal's thoughtfully designed cabin offers comfortable overnight accommodations with a forward convertible V-berth, aft mid-cabin sleeping area, enclosed fiberglass head, and a well-appointed galley complete with refrigerator, microwave, sink, and alcohol stove. Air conditioning and heat, powered by the onboard Westerbeke generator, make this an ideal cruiser regardless of the season or whether you're connected to shore power.

The spacious cockpit is designed for entertaining, featuring wraparound seating, a wet bar, premium Fusion sound system, and excellent visibility from the helm. Wide walk-through access to the integrated swim platform makes boarding and water activities easy, while the extended platform provides plenty of room for swimming, paddleboards, or simply relaxing at anchor.

The Volvo Penta Duoprop drive utilizes dual counter-rotating stainless-steel propellers that provide outstanding grip in the water, reducing bow rise during acceleration while delivering confident handling around docks and marinas. Combined with Bennett trim tabs, the boat offers a smooth, stable ride in varying sea conditions.
