26

Regulator's very first model, the 26 is a legendary boat — a forerunner of the modern deep-V center console. Designed by famed naval architect Lou Codega, the 26 is built on a solid fiberglass hull with a sharp entry, wide reverse chines, and a single-piece grid-type stringer system for structural support. The Regulator 26 is widely acclaimed as an awesome (and overbuilt) fishing machine. Over 1,500 were sold during her production years, and the 26 has the distinction of being one of the few center consoles her size with an outboard bracket. The deck is not flush so watch the step going forward, but it’s worth it for the extra storage. In fact, storage is excellent for a boat this size. Standard features include a standup head compartment with portable toilet, console cooler seat, pop-up cleats, Armstrong outboard bracket, 20-gallon ransom livewell, twin transom bait boxes, and a vast 700-quart in-deck wet/dry box that doubles as lockable rod storage. An optional drop-down aft bench seat adds extra seating space. No lightweight, the Regulator’s legendary deep-V hull delivers an exceptionally dry and soft ride. Yamaha F250 4-strokes deliver a top speed of 45+ knots.
