Regal LX43 Boats For Sale

The Regal LX43 is a 43-foot outboard day boat and weekend cruiser built around entertaining large groups in climate-controlled comfort. Its defining feature is a pair of folding side terraces that drop down to widen the 13-foot-2-inch beam to roughly 17 feet 6 inches, opening the cockpit to the water on both sides with integrated boarding steps and ladder access. The hull is Regal's Ocean Track 2, with higher sides for offshore running and a low center of gravity that gives it good form stability at anchor. Anyone shopping the Regal boats LX 43 for sale is choosing the fully enclosed sister to the open SAV model, sharing the same bow and cabin but trading the SAV's 360-degree fishability for a full beam-to-beam windshield, air conditioning, and all-weather protection.

Power on the standard boat is twin Mercury V12 600-horsepower engines turning 24.5-inch dual prop sets. On a 30,560-pound boat that combination produced a top speed of 52.1 mph at 6,350 rpm, with a 0-to-30 mph sprint of 8 seconds. Best cruise came at 4,000 rpm, where the LX43 ran 29.4 mph while burning 41.6 gallons per hour, giving a range of 316 statute miles (274 nautical) from the 498-gallon tank with a 10 percent reserve. Buyers can option triple 450 Yamaha outboards for about 54 mph or triple Mercurys for roughly 62 to 64 mph, at the cost of some swim platform space. Draft runs about 3 feet with the drives up and 4 feet down, and a Seakeeper 4 is standard to stabilize the boat at rest, with a Seakeeper 6 fitted to some boats.

The helm carries triple Garmin 22-inch screens and a Regal digital switching system that controls the hardtop, electric side windows, sunroof, lights, climate, and music from any display, helm, cockpit, or cabin. The captain's seat is 20 inches wide, electrically adjustable for height, with its own air conditioning vents, a bow thruster, joystick docking control, a Fusion head unit, a magnetic phone charger, and a chilled cubby in place of a glove box. Electrical loads run off a 24-volt lithium bank charged by a 5 kW diesel generator and a Mastervolt system, so air conditioning runs near-silently at anchor until the generator cycles on around 20 percent charge.

The cockpit's refreshment area centers on a foldout teak table that seats eight and a summer galley with twin Kenyon electric grills, a deep sink with cutting board insert, two refrigerators (one convertible to a freezer), and a drop-down TV. A fishing console with two pressurized live wells, rod holders, fish boxes, and an ice maker can be swapped for a large sun lounger. Synthetic teak decking, a power hardtop shade, and adjustable, closable AC vents run throughout.

Below, the LX43 functions as a real cruising yacht rather than a day boat. The midcabin has 79 inches of headroom and an 82-inch settee that converts to a berth, while two single beds measuring 38 by 75 inches combine into a king with an insert. A separate enclosed head and shower, a small galley, microwave, TVs, opening windows, and wireless charging complete the overnighting space. Fit and finish on the Regal boat LX43 rates with premium inboard brands, and the Ultimate trim adds six upholstery choices with customizable stitching.
