Introduction
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 Man-
ufacturers 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 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

Mission Statement
With God’s help
and a steadfast commitment to integrity,
we will develop a team
of exceptional people and relationships
to provide
exceptional customer satisfaction.

INT-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
organizations 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 component 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. 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 familiar with your Regal boat. Also, a technical section
is featured which can be valuable in 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. A portion of the equipment described may not
be installed on your boat or the pictorials may not exactly match your components.
Selected illustrations in this owner’s manual may represent typical examples.

Regal has provided an information pouch aboard the vessel. Read
and become familiar with the materials. This packet contains valuable
literature on your propulsion package, standard and optional equipment,
systems and various care,cleaning and maintenance instructions. Be
sure to store the information pouch in a clean dry area.
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 boat model, hull number,
month and year of manufacture.
YOUR REGAL OWNER’S MANUAL

INT-9
Introduction
The HIN is normally found in the vicinity of the starboard transom
rub rail. The domestic HIN consists of 12 alpha or numeric characters.
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 unreadable 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 at home.
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
