2027 Regal LS9 Surf

The LS9 Surf is Regal's answer to a problem most families run into eventually: the surf boat is not comfortable enough to cruise, and the cruiser cannot throw a wave. This new 2027, stock #5040, in graphite over black, is 29 feet of both. It is the largest boat in Regal's Surf series and it does not feel like a compromise in either direction.

The surf system is the real thing, not a token package. A 2,500-pound integrated ballast system does the heavy lifting, and because this is a 7,600 lb hull to begin with, that ballast presses a genuinely large, long wave rather than a steep one. Custom wave-shaping Surf Tabs at the transom switch the wave side to side without anyone moving. Power is a Volvo Penta 380 hp with Forward Drive, whose forward-facing counter-rotating propellers sit under the hull well ahead of the swim platform, which is what makes surfing behind a sterndrive safe in the first place. Trimmed up, the drive adds meaningfully to the wave shape on its own.

All of it is controlled from dual 12-inch Glass Cockpit Water Sport displays with integrated surf, ballast, trim, and speed settings, so each rider's preferences are saved and recalled rather than dialed in by trial and error every set.

When the boards are put away it is simply an excellent 29-foot bowrider. Nine feet of beam, wraparound bow lounges, ComfortCurve seating that reclaims usable space, a double-wide social seat, a private enclosed head, and 108 gallons of fuel. SeaStar electric steering and a bow thruster make a boat this size easy to place in a slip.

Why this is the right boat: you want one boat. Teenagers want to surf, your spouse wants to cruise comfortably with a head aboard, and you want something that still looks right at the dock in ten years. Very few boats genuinely satisfy all three, and the LS9 Surf is the most complete attempt on the market.

This one is new and in our indoor showroom at 3545 Osage Beach Pkwy. Kelly's Port is Regal's oldest dealer in the country, ranked number one in the world for customer satisfaction by the factory, and we have been family owned on the Lake of the Ozarks since 1977. We will set the surf system up with you on the water rather than handing you a manual. Call 573.348.3888 to see stock #5040 or arrange a demo.
