2021 Regal 38 SAV

The Regal 38 SAV answers a question a lot of boat buyers get stuck on: do you want the open, go-anywhere utility of a big center console, or the comfort and accommodations of an express cruiser? The SAV, short for Sports Activity Vessel, refuses to choose. This 2021, stock #5090, is finished in graphite and green, and it has covered just 168 hours.

Power is the headline. Triple Yamaha 350 hp four-strokes hang on the transom for a combined 1,050 horsepower. On a 39-foot 3-inch hull with an 11-foot 11-inch beam and 18,800 lbs of dry weight, that is not excess, it is the right amount: the boat gets up and runs without strain, and three engines means genuine redundancy plus the tight low-speed control that makes docking a boat this size manageable. Yamaha Helm Master joystick docking is fitted on equipped boats, and the 340-gallon fuel capacity gives it the legs to make almost any run on the Lake feel short.

Below decks is where the SAV separates from a console boat. There is a climate-controlled cabin with a private forward berth and convertible mid-cabin berth, a full enclosed head with a separate walk-in shower, and a proper galley with refrigerator, sink, microwave, and solid-surface counters. That is weekend-aboard capability, not a token cuddy. Topside, a fiberglass hardtop with integrated windshield keeps the helm shaded and dry, and there is a refreshment center with sink and refrigerator, an electric windlass, insulated fish boxes, and rod holders.

The helm carries dual Garmin touchscreen multifunction displays with GPS, radar, sonar, depthsounder, VHF, and autopilot integrated, so the boat is set up for real navigation rather than just lake running.

Why this is the right boat: if your family wants to fish in the morning, host twelve people at a cove in the afternoon, and sleep aboard rather than drive home, nothing covers that spread as completely as a 38 SAV. At 168 hours on a 2021, this one has years of easy life ahead of it, and the deep-V hull means rough afternoon water is a non-event.

We have been a family-owned, full-service marina on the Lake of the Ozarks since 1977, with wet and dry storage, a gas dock, a ship store, and a same-day service guarantee on site, which matters a great deal on a triple-outboard boat you intend to actually use.
