Regal 42 FXO (2021) - Test Video

[@Dirtbiker-guy]

Not sure how youtube's algorithm started me on yacht reviews, especially with my income. But after watching many of these I can say that Captain Steve is the quickest and most thorough reviewer out there with a great deal of knowledge and forward thinking opinions and professionalism. Also, his camera crew captures everything he's talking about in a clear and quick way without making you dizzy. Great job sir!

[@BoatTEST]

Thanks for sharing your comments and so happy KZbin shared it with you! :)We will share with Capt steve!

[@brianhall5561]

You can always rely on Steve to provide a thorough and professional walkthrough every time. The quality, price and feature set of this Regal line provides amazing value for its class.

[@bugsywolfe]

Great video Capt Steve. Regal truly makes some great boats. In this case a 42 that can almost hit 50 mph. That in and of itself is pretty amazing.

[@blewyd]

Cool seeing even the yacht and cruiser market taking to outboards. That lazarette is HUGE for a 42' yacht! Excited to see what is to come within the next decade with yachts.

[@darthkek1953]

Agreed. Outboards are so much easier and cheaper to maintain.

[@coryaughtman157]

Great presentation captain. She is a beautiful vessel and it was a excellent idea pulling the tape to give us a actual visual of the area you was showing

[@LetMrAL1]

Love your explanations of all this.

[@timogaleon1630]

That is one fast boat! Not completely sure I’d want a cruiser to go that fast, but it does give a huge choice of cruising speed.

[@goodbonezz1289]

Another great review. One thing with the outboard setup though..it makes it much more inconvenient to bring along a tender. Love the performance here but, boy is she thirsty. I get that if one can afford the boat, gas isn’t an issue. Somewhat true but it’s always a consideration. Regal does a nice job all in all.

[@dougwarner8972]

Great job by captain Steve

[@michiganengineer8621]

Capt. Steve, I'm rather surprised you didn't comment on how far out of reach that one fuel filter is there in the aft port corner of the lazarette, there was another recent review where you pointed that out. I like how Regal made use of the (former) engine room although I think they should have put the SeaKeeper back THERE rather than essentially in the cabin.

[@43griffins]

are you guys going to be testing the new Regal 36 grand coupe? just placed an order on one and am excited to see a BostTest video on it

I like this boat! Seems to be really nice, and I do like the outboard drives.

[@bmohre4784]

I’d love to see some side-by-side performance comparisons and discussions with the 42 Fly.

[@jph8291]

Nice boat!

[@CajunJosh]

Curious what kind of speed you could get at idle in that thing. From what I can find the Yamaha 425's drink between 2-3gph at idle. Wonder how far she could cruise just idling along.

[@chriswadlington2465]

Just curious, why does it have a diesel generator and not gas? Safety features?

[@carguyeyedoc]

Cool idea. One question, how do you get onto the beach? You cant have a tender with outboards and even with engines up, a 31” draft means your anchoring in 4 ft deep water.

[@charlieodom9107]

You know they don't think about stuff like that. Hell, they didn't even redesign the hull for outboards, so it has a massive hole in the bottom where the engines are supposed to go. Also...diesel generator but gas outboards. That has NEVER made any sense!

[@alanploetz7100]

Agree with Jake S. - was wondering if the aft seating on the fly could be replaced with chocks and a davit to handle a dinghy or PWC. But Charlie O, you weren't listening when Capt Steve said they extended the hull under the swim platform nor did you seem to wonder where all that lazerette space came from - now that the big block powerplants are gone.

[@michiganengineer8621]

Actually you can have a tender with outboards, Cutwater has a RIB with davit available on their 32 footer. Take a peek at Cutwaterboats.com Charlie Odom, actually as annoying as it is to have two fuel supplies it does make sense. With very rare exceptions (I know of one company off hand) you can't get performance outboards in diesel, and gasoline powered gensets are THIRSTY beasts.

[@charlieodom9107]

@@michiganengineer8621 diesel outboards still have a long way to go, but I know they exist. Did you know there are also electric outboards? I don't mean trolling motors either! 200+ hp electric outboards.

[@michiganengineer8621]

@@charlieodom9107 I've seen them in some of the reviews and they actually look promising for use on a fairly small lake. LMAO, I just had the mental picture of someone building a small Cigarette style deep-vee and powering it with 4 or more of those electrics.

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Is there a Seakeeper option? What about a water desalinization system? Can it handle 3x600 hp Merc B-12.

[@jonathanmack8487]

For stereo control you could also just get the free garmin active captain app where you can control the garmin units and therefore the stereo from anywhere on the boat.

For all Boat Videos please end video with full price as tested!

[@markmorgan5892]

Timestamp 1:18, how come on a brand new boat the ladder is already starting to rust!!! That’s low quality “stainless” right there!!!! And just curious capt steve, how come u didn’t do a in depth look at all the operations like u always do? This video only had maybe a min and half to two mins worth of the operations part and then the rest was all about the features?! No weights, draft, nothing like that, just a top speed.

[@cascivic]

The Volvo diesel version gets 1mpg at 6 knot less cruise. That's a BIG difference. That's what I meant. 🤦‍♂️

[@nomehdrider]

I really like the Regal boats you have reviewed, a couple of questions why does Regal not have a compass at the helm(s) and how do you carry a PWC or dinghy on board? Great reviews!

[@darthkek1953]

It's not for holding jetskis, you want a tender it needs to be an inflatable. Fine for seabobs though.

[@Bubbles99718]

Guests not inclined to be on the boat are quickly given options to leave said boat

[@fehmibenslama]

A few errors in ft/m conversions, though. Other than that, great presentation

[@Bubbles99718]

50?! Kinda crazy seeing a boat that size hitting that number

[@charlieodom9107]

What is crazy is where do you put the tender on an outboard boat?

[@darthkek1953]

@@charlieodom9107 You buy an inflatable tender.

[@jasonjarosz5897]

Great boat but it would have been so much smarter for the counter over the grill to flip up from the left side instead of from the back. This way it would contain the grease splatter from anything you toss on the grill. That glass door is gonna get nasty the first time you try to make burgers on the boat.

[@johng2400]

Good review but given you can’t have a tender unless you put it on the bow doesn’t seem very practical. Fuel cost is horrendous compared to say D4 or even d6 diesels in Europe

[@michaelpfarley]

Captain Steve: I don't get it. I would love it if you could do a video explaining the current outboard obsession. Why on earth would this boat have them???

[@carguyeyedoc]

Speed baby! This is 10 mph faster than the non-outboard version. Plus theoretically, you can anchor/beach them in shallower water (not this one obviously due to it’s deeper draft and massive weight). But... honestly, a yacht like this should have diesels - they just make more sense.

[@alanploetz7100]

Speed, ease of maintenance, ease of repowering...

[@scottstewart5784]

@@carguyeyedoc This boat is almost as silly as those Miami boats with 6 or 7 outboards. People with more engines than sense.

[@carguyeyedoc]

@@scottstewart5784 6 outboards is silly, but i think even more silly is that this 42 ft yacht only has sleeping accommodations for FOUR people.

[@scottstewart5784]

@@carguyeyedoc Right! And no emergency places where a table telescopes down and a pad materializes. The table is fixed. Wonder where they could have found more space? Oh yeah - the "lazarette" where the Diesel engines belong. Storage for ten, sleeping for 4.

[@120Livi]

I always think that the shame of an outboard version of an inboard boat is the loss of the clear open swim platform.

[@darthkek1953]

There are compromises each way. Outboards cost less to maintain than inboard shafts which again cost less to maintain than pods.

[@stevend8785]

Are they really putting Ikea style particle board cabinets on a million dollar boar? It sits and the water and is going to be humid and get wet. I bet they look shoddy after 1 or 2 seasons.

[@eddu4361]

Nice boat. Interesting config with outboards. But in Europe not economic with petrol engines and the speed this nice boat can do not allowed in much of the European waterways. Real nice boat but sadly not so much for Europe.

[@Bubbles99718]

Speed limits everywhere?
