This Regulator 29 FS is a rare opportunity. She has only 800 hours on the engines, She has been operated, run, and maintained perfectly. She is in “like new” condition.

Regulator Marine center console boats are built and designed with a focus on rigorous testing and the goal of building vessels that are capable of offshore fishing. Its factory in Edenton, North Carolina, on Albemarle Sound provided an advantageous place to address both factors. Since it started, Regulator has tested its boats in North Carolina’s notoriously rough Oregon Inlet as well as offshore in the gamefish-rich waters off the Outer Banks.

Regulators, the 29 features a hull drawn by veteran naval architect Lou Codega, who, in his 25-year career, has designed production hulls for Carolina Classic and Cabo, semi-custom boats for Bluewater Yachts, custom sport fishermen for Hines/Farley Yachts and Rybovich, and patrol boats for the U.S. Navy.

She’s got a solid fiberglass bottom and Regulator’s Fiberglass Grillage System of Divinycell-cored fiberglass stringers, designed to provide her with the kind of stiff, strong hull needed to run offshore in snotty conditions.

Several factors emerged about her performance. An impressive average top speed of 51 mph. Also impressive was how quickly and effortlessly she got out of the hole: In 20 seconds she had hit 45 mph, and she reached 50 mph in less than 30 seconds.

Indeed, the twin Yamaha F250 four-strokes are a great match for the hull. She achieved better than 1 mpg throughout her rpm range, and at a fast cruise just 34 mph at 4000 rpm, she burned 21.2 mph or 1.60 mpg. The 29 is equipped with a standard 285-gallon fuel tank, comparatively large for a center console less than 30 feet, meaning that at that speed, she’s good for a range of 410 miles.
