2017 Regulator Regulator 23

Step aboard and you can feel why this 23 rides bigger than the tape measure says. The deep, secure cockpit and tall bow freeboard let you push out when the forecast has a little more lump than planned. Under the console, there’s space for a real marine head and gear stowage, not just a token compartment. The forward seating doubles as a casting deck when cushions are off, and the wide walkaround makes working a fish from bow to stern easy. Classic Regulator fit and finish is everywhere you look—molded non-skid, heavy-duty hardware, and substantial coaming bolsters that make long days on the rail far more comfortable.

This size Regulator is ideal for local waters that can turn from glassy to choppy in a single tide change. The pronounced flare and deep-V hull soften the ride when afternoon sea breezes stack up a short, steep chop, yet the boat still floats shallow enough to sneak into nearshore structure and coastal creeks. With a single 300 on the bracket, it’s efficient on long runs to nearshore reefs while keeping maintenance straightforward. The secure bow seating is perfect for family beach runs and sandbar days, while the open cockpit and fishy layout shine when the bite turns on just offshore.
