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 craft 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 the 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 our-
selves.
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 precautions 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 !”
Paul Kuck
Founder

Notes

1-7
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 waterways can change from normal to abnormal
conditions in a heartbeat. Knowing how to react quickly comes from
experience and knowledge which can be gained through boating
education.
Welcome aboard!
Introduction

INT-8
Your Regal owner’s manual has been developed to assist you in operating
your vessel with safety and pleasure. Unless otherwise noted ,
information applies to both the 2700 & 2750 models. 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 complete source of boating maintenance, boat handling
techniques, boating safety or seamanship. 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 features an information pouch with vessel & engine owner’s
manuals. This packet contains valuable literature on your propulsion
package, standard and optional equipment, systems and various care
and cleaning instructions. Be sure to store the information pouch in a
clean dry area for quick reference.
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 found on your boats

transom, on the starboard side, just below the rub rail on the transom
vertical surface. The HIN consists of 12 alpha or numeric characters
imprinted on a metal band.
It is recommended that you locate and write down the HIN for future
reference. 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 for example the boat 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.
