Dear Regal Owner,
I know I speak for everyone at Regal when I wel-
come you to the ever-growing family of Regal boat
owners. You’ve chosen a boat that is recognized
worldwide for its standard of excellence. Each step
in construction has been carefully scrutinized to
assure comfort, performance, reliability and safety
for both your passengers and yourself.
Your boat is certified by the National Marine
Manufacturers Association. It also complies with
the applicable standards set by the United States
Coast Guard and American Boat and Yacht Council.
Your Regal boat was built with the same attention
to detail and quality of construction that we would
expect in a boat we would purchase ourselves.
Whether you’re a veteran boater or a newcomer, we
strongly urge you to read this boat owner’s manual
thoroughly. Familiarize yourself with the various
components of your boat, and heed the safety pre-
cautions noted herein.
If you have questions that are not covered in this
manual, please consult your authorized Regal
dealer for assistance or phone the Regal factory at
407-851-4360.
Thank you, and welcome to the “World of Regal !”
Duane Kuck
President & CEO
Regal Marine Industries, Inc.

Boating is becoming more popular every year. There are numerous
types of recreational vessels on our waterways today involved in an
every growing number of activities. Therefore, as a new boat owner
it is of the highest priority to learn about general boating practices
before operating your craft.
Your Regal dealer will answer many questions and provide valuable
“hands on” information during the completion of the new boat
delivery process. In addition, your dealer has received special factory
training on the product line and his services should be employed to
solve technical problems and periodic maintenance beyond the scope
of this
manual. Also, your Regal dealer carries a line of factory approved
parts and accessories.
Your Regal dealer can provide information regarding national training
organization such as the U.S. Power Squadron and United States Coast
Guard Auxiliary. Along with other organizations and literature, they can
help build your “boating savvy” by developing the necessary skills and
awareness to be a safe and competent skipper. Your local library can also
help in providing recommended boating literature such as Chapman
Piloting (Seamanship & Boat Handling by Elbert S. Maloney).
Remember, the waterway conditions can change from normal to
abnormal in a heartbeat. Knowing how to react quickly comes from
experience and knowledge which can be gained through boating
education.
Welcome aboard!
Introduction

Introduction
INT-9
Your Regal owner’s manual has been developed to assist you in
operating your vessel with safety and pleasure. Be sure to read and
become familiar with the contents before operating your craft. Your
owner’s manual has been divided into general chapters to assist you
in becoming more knowledgable with your Regal boat. Also, we have
added a special technical drawing chapter which can be valuable in
maintenance and troubleshooting. This manual is not intended to be
a workshop guide. These skills require education and experience
levels beyond this manual.
In keeping with its commitment to continued improvement, Regal
notes that all drawings, specifications, models, standard and
optional equipment referred to in this manual are subject to
change without notice.
OWNER’S INFORMATION PACKET
Your Regal boat features an information pouch with vessel and engine
owner’s manuals. In addition, this packet contains valuable literature
on your propulsion package, standard and optional equipment systems,
along with various care and cleaning instructions. Be sure to store the
information pouch in a clean dry area aboard your vessel.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Hull Identification Number (HIN)
The United States Coast Guard has established a universal system of
numerically identifying vessels by using a hull identification number or
“HIN.” This number identifies your Regal boats model, hull number,
month and year of manufacture. The HIN is normally found on your
boats transom, on the starboard side, just below the rub rail vertical
surface. The HIN consists of 12 alpha or numeric characters imprinted

on a metal band. Also, another location for the HIN could be under
the extended swim platform on the transom.
It is recommended that you locate and write down the HIN for
future reference in the owner’s manual. It can be especially useful
when ordering parts from your Regal dealer. A second HIN number
is found in a hidden location. This second HIN is useful to authorities
if if the vessel is stolen and the original transom HIN is modified or
eliminated.
Vessel Information Sheet
It is recommended that you fill out the information on the following
page. It will supply vital statistics on your vessel. Make a copy of the
data for safe keeping.
Vessel Float Plan
Fill out the float plan on the following page before departing. Leave it
with a responsible person who will notify the United States Coast Guard
or local law enforcement authorities if you do not return as planned.
If you change your plans be sure to notify this person. Make copies
of the float plan and use one each time you go boating. This will help
people know where to find you should you not return on schedule. Do
not file the float plan with the United States Coast Guard.
