2009 Regal 3350

Here is a lot of boat for the money. This 2009 Regal 3350, stock #5083, is 34 feet 8 inches long on an 11-foot 4-inch beam, carries twin Volvo sterndrives making 640 horsepower between them, and is priced where a well-equipped 24-foot bowrider often lands.

The 3350 was one of the more interesting boats Regal ever built. Rather than filling the hull with berths, they gave it a large, open cockpit and treated the interior as a comfortable place for the occasional overnight rather than the point of the boat. If you have ever been on a 34-foot cruiser where eight adults are crowded into a cockpit designed for four while three unused cabins sit empty below, you will immediately understand the appeal. This is an entertaining platform first, with a cabin available when you want it.

The hull backs that up. Over 11 feet of beam on a 34-foot bottom, at 11,100 lbs dry, is a genuinely capable combination. It handles big water and holds a comfortable cruise, and the 186-gallon fuel capacity is large enough that range essentially stops being a consideration on the Lake of the Ozarks. Twin engines give you the low-speed control to place the boat precisely at a dock and the reassurance of a second powerplant.

Equipment includes an arch, a bimini top, an electric anchor windlass, a depthsounder, swim platforms with a swim ladder, and a Bluetooth sound system, so the practical items that get expensive to add later are already fitted.

Why this is the right boat: if your priority is cockpit space, twin-engine capability, and a big-water ride, and you would rather spend your budget on the hull than on depreciation, a well-kept 3350 is very hard to beat. It is also a sensible first step into the 30-foot-plus class, because the running gear is conventional and parts and service are straightforward.
