2024 Regal LS6

This 2024 Regal LS6, stock #5043, is a two-year-old example of what we think is the most sensible boat in the entire Regal range.

The LS6 runs about 26 feet 4 inches on an 8-foot 6-inch beam with accommodation for ten, and the engineering headline is the hull. Regal pairs a single sterndrive with the stepped FasTrac bottom, which introduces air along the running surface to reduce drag. The practical consequence is that one engine does the work of a larger, thirstier package: the boat planes quickly, cruises efficiently, and returns fuel figures a conventional deep-V of the same size cannot match. With around 73 gallons aboard and roughly 5,350 lbs dry, it has genuine range for its size.

The 8-foot 6-inch beam is a deliberate choice rather than a limitation. It keeps the LS6 trailerable without a permit, easy in a standard slip, and manageable for one person at a dock. Regal recovers interior space through layout instead of width, with wraparound bow lounges, a well-proportioned cockpit, convertible aft seating, and the handcrafted upholstery and finish that separate a Regal from a volume-built bowrider.

Engine options on this model run up to a Volvo V8 430 with EVC controls and a DuoProp drive, and DuoProp's counter-rotating propellers give noticeably better grip in a turn and cleaner low-speed handling than a single-prop setup.

Why this is the right boat: this is the sweet spot for a family that wants a genuine Regal without a Regal-sized commitment. It tows behind a normal truck, fits an ordinary slip, costs sensible money to run, seats ten, and still has the stepped-hull performance and the finish quality that make you glad you did not buy something cheaper. Buying a 2024 rather than new means the first depreciation is already behind it.
