$184,185 - (2023) Regal 26 XO Review - The Perfect Trailable Weekend Cruiser!!

[@LScofield1]

I fell in love at first sight. A great boat at a nice price. You found another gem. Thanks so very much!

[@GarnockReviews]

This one impressed me a lot for its size. When I started boating, boats of this size always seemed so cramped and basic. Can't say that about this one 🤠

[@bobwoods1302]

That's a great cabin for a 26 ft boat. Spacious aft berth.

[@GarnockReviews]

I filmed a 33ft boat today that felt smaller due to being inboard rather than outboard. Outboards free up so much space 🤠

[@OrganistRichardBunbury]

Love that boat! I’ve seen a number of videos on it and everyone praises it. It certainly has everything in a small package. And I think that a 300 hp single engine is more than enough for me at least.

[@GarnockReviews]

I'm a big fan of this boat for all that it offers in a relatively small package. She might not break any speed records, but more than enough power for a fun weekend on the water. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😎

[@johngauntlett4915]

It's reminiscent of my brother-in-law's 25 ft Sea Ray with a swim platform. My sister upgraded it with a plasma TV and holding tank and electric toilet. The only issue was that the generator was up on the bow because there was no space left in the engine compartment. But it had a full galley and very cold AC. It also slept four.

[@GarnockReviews]

Hey John, I've been on a few Searays over the years and agree it's a similar design and market 😉

[@MS-bh3uw]

Great little weekender that optimizes space efficiently.

[@GarnockReviews]

I love the Regal lineup. I actually filmed a 2022 Regal 38 XO earlier today. Loads of upgrades and clever design features 🤠

[@nickeyharry3605]

Excellent little boat and you get so much for her size.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Nick, and I agree. Pleasantly surprised with this one when I got onboard 🤠

[@cameronreed5882]

Hey I work at Aloha! I cleaned that boat for this show, cool!

[@GarnockReviews]

She's a great boat for its size! I appreciate you guys letting me come onboard and take a look. Are you planning on coming to the Jacksonville boat show?

[@jacktyler7599]

Lots (& Lots) of eye candy here. altho' a wee bit of a load to tow after everything is piled inside.. Garnock, I assume you leave your checkbook at home when you attend these shows? 😎

[@GarnockReviews]

I get nervous at the boat shows around the cheaper boats where the monthly payment looks like a car payment 😁

[@Jtruthd]

Does the power tower have a tow point under the all around light?

[@GarnockReviews]

I believe it does, but I would need to double check next time I'm onboard one.

[@Jtruthd]

@@GarnockReviews thanks

[@leolouchios5574]

awesome

[@doverivermedia3937]

Nice job. Is that road legal to tow in the UK too ? ... 🇬🇧 (my chaparral 240 signature 'dry' was borderline)

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks! I'm going to assume it's road legal as I was able to find a few examples online in the UK on a trailer. She's got some weight to her, so making sure the SUV has the towing power could be a challenge. You might need something like a diesel Range Rover to pull it 🤔

[@airraptor]

185k though

[@GarnockReviews]

It's a chunk of change and out my budget these days, but you are getting a lot of boat for your money.....brand new....with warranty etc. I personally think it's still good value if this is the style of boat you are after.

[@airraptor]

@@GarnockReviews True.

[@toddwerther188]

Dual 150s would be better but then you could navigate better AND actually afford the boat... can't have that.

[@ironichumorist]

the owner of this boat is the person who rocks the other 15 boats in the anchorage which is posted as a no wake zone.

[@theusefulchannel]

I typed in Nasal and it brought me here 😂

[@fraudsarentfriends4717]

Outboard really kills the deal for a cruiser.

[@GarnockReviews]

So many boats are going outboard now compared to 10 - 20 years ago. Even bigger boats like 50ft+ are going that way. I have mixed opinions but can't argue the fact that this gives so much more space onboard than traditional inboards.

[@fraudsarentfriends4717]

@@GarnockReviews It's more dangerous, the swim platform was somewhat of a guard for the prop. It obstructs the swim platform. Outboards are fine for fishing boats, not cruisers. I think it's regulations that are promoting the use of outboards. I would rather the industry go with diesel inboard on cruiser if they want to get away from gasoline inboards. Looks like many companies are moving away from cruisers altogether... It's a shame.

[@bryannolte4910]

Like that wet head! "Fluffy Friendly" for sure!! ✌️🏳️‍🌈✌️

[@erics9754]

I will take two just need to go in my backyard and trim some off my money tree lmao. Sorry i am a working man only the super rich need apply 184 thousand to me is no different than 1 million numbers like that do not compute my house was less than that and i make 40 grand a year so no thanks lol.

[@GarnockReviews]

Unless you believe in miracles, I don't see boat ownership on my cards either. They are expensive toys not only to buy, but to maintain. I enjoy being around them and getting to check out the different makes and models etc.

[@erics9754]

@@GarnockReviews Yeah I bought a boat brand new in 2008 it was just a 2008 Bayliner 175 I loved it had a lot of fun and the damn thing went 50 mph with just me in it from a 4 banger that was cheap to run plus I had the camper top so if it rained I stayed dry me and my wife still have it. She makes a good living so maybe when all our debts are paid we could buy one but it would be second hand. Even if we make 165 grand a year combined with the cost of living these days and debts it would still take a miracle but you have a good attitude it is better to stay positive but life can beat anyone down lol. I am glad we bought our house when they were still cheap and it's paid for now. It's worth 5 times more than what we paid do not know how kids today can ever afford one.

[@juanbengochea1534]

Overprice

[@RobertCrandall-k8k]

She is a little expensive and not in everyone's budget.

[@GarnockReviews]

She's out of my budget these days as well. She is however, a very well designed and well equipped boat for its size. I wonder what the price would be today for a similar model since the boat market seems to be changing since I filmed this one 🤔
