BEST NEW CUDDY

Regal 2750
Even in a crowded boat show, this new Regal stands out like a predator amid its prey. Gone are the sloping ballet-slipper lines of so many boat designs produced since the early '80s. The 2750 sports razorlike edges that flow together with the sleek gracefulness of a cheetah while conjuring the traditional lines of boats from a bygone era.

Its heavy-duty, highly polished stainless-steel hardware and durable, leatherlike vinyl add to the admiration we have for its graceful profile. Its ride is crisp, solid and quick. But Regal sports yet another feather in its cap that never goes out of style — quality. The careful attention Regal pays to quality control won the company a J.D. Power award, taking this juicy morsel out of the mouths of some very stiff competition.

Editors' Take
Superior handling, construction and quality control distinguish it from competitors.

Best of All
Some are drawn to the forward berth or the spacious sun pad. We gravitated to the helm, which features instrumentation with aircraft precision.
