Regal 28 Express Boats For Sale

The Regal 28 Express is a trailerable express cruiser that accommodates two couples or a small family overnight and larger groups for day trips. Its 8-foot-6-inch beam keeps it within the legal towing limit, which is a major reason buyers choose this 28 foot Regal boat over rivals in the same size class. To gain interior volume from that beam, Regal runs the cockpit out to the hull sides with no side decks, and forward access comes through a sliding cabin door with molded steps to the foredeck. The boat is yacht certified with no listed maximum capacity. Anyone searching for a 28 ft Regal boat for sale will find a layout built around versatility rather than a single use.

Power comes from a single Volvo Penta V8, rated at 300 horsepower on earlier boats and 350 horsepower with EVC electronic vessel control on later models, the latter adding cruise assist, trim assist and counter-rotating dual stainless props. In a Regal 28 Express boat test with the 300-hp 5.7 engine, dry weight measured 7,585 pounds and test weight just over 8,300 pounds. Top speed reached 41.2 mph at 5050 RPM, burning just under 24 gallons per hour for 1.72 mpg and a range of 112 miles. Best cruise landed at 4,000 RPM and 30.4 mph, where fuel consumption dropped to 14 gph for 2.17 mpg and a range of 140 miles. The boat planed in 3.8 seconds, hit 30 mph in 13 seconds, and showed a 15-degree bow rise on acceleration before settling level.

The helm sits high for visibility, with a double-wide seat that slides and a flip-up bolster for standing. Newer boats carry dual 9-inch Garmin displays running engine functions, sonar and GPS, alongside an analog switch panel that retains fuel, volts, temperature and oil pressure gauges. A bow thruster, trim tabs, a Fusion audio controller and a wireless remote spotlight are at the dash. The standout feature on the profile is the electric power tower, a solid GRP arch that lowers onto the windshield at the push of a button to reduce air draft for towing or low bridges, with the bimini deploying from its aft edge. A fixed fire suppression system and CO detection are fitted.

The cockpit centers on a removable teak table and a four-position lounge whose backrest swings to face the water or the helm and folds flat into a full-beam sun pad measuring 5 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 4 inches. A refreshment center to port has a sink fed from the 20-gallon water tank and space for a 25-quart cooler, with an optional refrigerated drawer. The electric engine hatch hinges from the cockpit side and lifts from the swim platform for full access; behind the engine is dedicated storage for tools, rags and spare oil. The full-beam swim platform extends 23 inches from the transom and carries a hot-and-cold transom shower and a recessed reboarding ladder.

Below decks is where the 28 Express stands out for its size. The cabin uses cherry veneer cabinetry with a dark stained bamboo sole on test boats and teak steps shared with Regal's larger Grand Coupe models. The galley to starboard has a single-burner stove, microwave, an Isotherm-style refrigerator and a sink. A convertible dinette forward drops to a berth, while aft sits a queen-plus berth that extends under the bridge deck with 2 feet 6 inches of headroom and privacy curtains. The wet head offers full standing headroom for a six-foot adult, a freshwater sink and an electric flush toilet. Buyers should weigh the available options when comparing a 28 Regal boat for sale: Webasto heating, air conditioning, a Westerbeke generator, shore power, and a flexiteek swim platform inlay all appear on better-equipped examples.
