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
