2007 Regal 1900 Description
-
Regal Marine Industries has evolved its
boat line into one of the most comprehensive
in the business, with models
ranging from the 1900 to the 4460 at well
over 40 feet. The company's success has resulted
from developing some innovative and clever
designs.
The 1900 bowrider is a perfect example of
that.
This is a big, beamy and handsome boat,
nearly 20 feet in length and built on what Regal
calls their FasTrac hull design. Although the running
surface of the boat is basically a deep-V
with 22 degrees of deadrise at transom, the running
surface is very "trick." Where the lift strakes
start in the forward section, diagonal shapes that
disrupt the flow of water are moulded into the
hull. Slightly aft is a step in the hull, which starts
at the chines. The step allows air to be drawn in
easily, lifting a part of the running surface clear
of the water to reduce drag at high speeds.
When you get on the throttle, you quickly
see the results of the hull shape. The test boat
had a Volvo 4.3 GXi V6 engine with the new
SX series drive and a four-blade aluminum prop.
At 225 horsepower, this fuel-injected engine is
powerful and smooth running. It delivered hot
acceleration numbers, taking only 3.84 seconds
to plane and reaching 40 mph in less than 12
seconds. What impressed me the most was at
5000 rpm (exactly 50 mph on the GPS) the
boat felt secure and well in control.
It is particularly interesting that it also feels
very light and buoyant as though you are skipping
over the waves like mad, but the FasTrac
hull responds instantly to your helm commands
and maintains a stable feeling at all times.
During our test, it was most impressive.
In terms of styling, the Regal 1900 had
remarkably smooth fibreglass work, showing off
in the dark-coloured hull sides. The lines are
likely to wear well over time on this bowrider.
The accommodations are good as well.
This bowrider has an anchor locker, two
stainless steel cup holders forward, more in the
cockpit, grab bars, foot lights and abundant storage
areas. Clever features include a connection
for a trailer light harness in the bow and a pair of
transom-mounted tail lights to improve your
trailering safety. The centre windshield section
latches open with a large magnet rather than a
flimsy nylon fitting or strap.
The Regal 1900 has a generous swim platform,
a three-step telescopic boarding ladder and
a neat pop-up ski pylon. A transom walkthrough,
another unusual feature, is ideal for dog
owners, people with mobility problems or just
for convenience when swimming or retrieving
fallen skiers.
In the cockpit is an aft seat and sunpad with
large built-in cooler. Regal has fitted lift struts on
virtually all the opening hatches. There is also a
spacious glove box. I was especially impressed
with the helm and its optional mahogany steering
wheel. The 1900 has remote controls for the
stereo in the hub and the driving position was
close to ideal with instruments mounted high
and in clear view. There is a Kenwood stereo system,
which is MP3 and changer ready.
This is a premium family boat that delivers
performance that will get any cottager excited.
