Regal LS2 Boats For Sale

The Regal LS2 is a 22-foot stern drive bowrider that replaced the brand's 2100 model, built around Regal's patented FasTrac hull that injects air along each side to reduce drag and improve top speed and fuel efficiency. It sits at the center of Regal's LS line, with a bowrider version and a dedicated Surf version sharing the same cockpit DNA. The boat suits families who want one platform for cruising, day boating and water sports, and it comes in interior colors including titanium with red, Bimini blue or Newport accents, with a matching color-coordinated seagrass mat and vinyl-wrapped dash. A 50th anniversary edition carries diamond stitching and the Belle Isle color.

On performance, the bowrider Regal LS2 is powered by a 280-horsepower Volvo Penta V6 stern drive. It planes off at roughly 20 mph with little bow rise, and recorded a top speed of about 49.2 mph at wide-open throttle trimmed all the way up. The most comfortable cruising speed came at 4,000 RPM, which returned about 31.8 mph on GPS. Shifting in and out of gear is quiet on the hull, without the usual clunk of a prop spinning on the drive shaft.

The Regal LS2 Surf swaps to Volvo Penta's 300-horsepower Forward Drive so it can throw a wave, and carries 1,800 pounds of ballast across three bags — two in the rear and one in the belly. Trimming up the lower unit adds roughly another 1,000 pounds of ballast energy for around 2,800 pounds total. Setup is handled through the touchscreen: fill the bags, pick a side, and surf tabs shape the wave. LED lights on the transom blink to signal the rider when the wave is ready to transfer side to side, and those same lights double as eye-level trailer brake lights for towing.

At the helm, both the bowrider and Surf use a Volvo Penta glass cockpit with dual Garmin touchscreen displays that handle engine data, navigation charts, GPS speed, depth, wind and the Fusion audio controls, plus the surf system on the Surf model. The displays can be customized, and they support connection to a Garmin VIRB camera that works as a rearview or records the action. The captain's chair is power-adjustable and slides about 8 inches, the steering wheel tilts, and the curved wraparound windshield blocks wind. Big bolster seats let shorter drivers see over the glass.

The cockpit uses Regal's social seating, with reversible captain and co-captain loungers and backrests that flip fore and aft to create facing lounges. Leg cutouts let two or three people sit comfortably across the edge-to-edge interior, and corner seats round out the layout. Storage sits under every seat on gas struts or hydraulics so compartments stay open on their own. The transom has a center walkthrough that fills in with a cushion for a full-width sun pad, pop-up rumble seats on both sides, transom speakers, and a wide swim platform low to the water. A pop-up stainless ski pylon is fitted when the tower isn't ordered.

Notable options to weigh when shopping a Regal LS2 boat for sale include the S2 power tower, an electric, hydraulically actuated unit that folds down at the push of a button and can stop at any point for low garage doors, bridges or trailering, with a canopy for shade. The aluminum engine compartment has a self-winterization drain and antifreeze fill, and storage flanks the engine accessible from inside or off the swim platform. Buyers wanting a deeper hull or an enclosed head compartment can step to the 22 Fast Deck, though the LS2 bowrider remains the more open, all-around choice. Regal Boats is family-owned, which shows in the dense, layered seat foam and finished fiberglass throughout the storage.
