2027 Regal LS6

The LS6 is the boat in Regal's lineup that makes the most sense for the most people, and this new 2027, stock #5007, is the current version of it. Twenty-six feet four inches on an 8-foot 6-inch beam, a single sterndrive, and accommodation for ten.

The engineering headline is the hull. The LS6 pairs a single sterndrive with Regal's stepped FasTrac bottom, which introduces air along the running surface to cut drag. The practical result is that one engine does the work of a larger, thirstier package: the boat planes quickly, holds an efficient cruise, and returns fuel numbers that a conventional deep-V of the same size cannot match. With a 73-gallon tank and 5,350 lbs of dry weight, it has genuine range for a boat this size.

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

Engine options run up to a Volvo V8 430 with EVC controls and a DuoProp drive. On a 26-footer that is a genuinely rapid boat, and DuoProp counter-rotating propellers give notably better grip in a turn and cleaner low-speed handling than a single-prop drive.

Why this is the right boat: this is the sweet spot for a family that wants a proper 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 that make you glad you did not buy something cheaper. For most Lake of the Ozarks families, the LS6 is the honest right answer.
