OnBoard Magazine - Issue XI - Summer 2019

Yamaha F300 has a long track record of proven reliability and offers efficient cruise speeds of 29 MPH (25 knots) returning an impressive 2.43 miles per gallon (12 GPH consumption). Regulator co-founder and VP of Product Development, Owen Maxwell boasts, “The new 26XO is rock solid, very stable, very predictable, it's a Regulator.” Clearly, when it comes to performance on the water, the new 26XO delivers in nearly any condition. This boat is ready to fish the flats, the bays, or head offshore. INCREASING CAPACITY The new XO series was made possible in part by a major factory expansion and the hiring of 45 new skilled workers to bring Regulator’s full labor force to over 220 people. The expansion provides offices and more space for the growing engineering and development teams, plus 35,000 square feet of additional assembly space along with 8,000 square feet becoming part of the main lamination facility. The added space at Regulator’s Edenton, North Carolina production plant will rearrange some processes and departments, leading to greater efficiency for different areas of production and assembly. Regulator never stops pioneering new ideas and never rests with what their most current boat lineup can do. Each year, new features and options are added to Regulator models based on input from customers and long-time dealers like Bluewater Yacht Sales. Most recently, the 41 received major upgrades for both fishing amenities and cabin finishes, plus Regulator’s new integrated wraparound windshield design which has already trickled down to the 26XO. Much buzz was generated prior to the 26XO debut at the Miami International Boat Show, and the unveiling did not disappoint. This boat has the brawn of her Regulator relatives with the modified hull design to run in thin water. Regulator’s attention to detail coupled with an impressive list of standard features and fishing amenities back it all up. Its innovations and striking aesthetics has helped the new 26XO receive unending positive feedback from customers, dealers and media outlets. Regulator's refusal to settle for status quo helps deliver us all into the future with incredible new models like the 26XO. To Regulator: Don’t ever lose that tenacity and constant drive to improve! REGULATOR 41 UPDATES The revised Regulator 41 boasts innovation at its core with an expanded cabin, redesigned tower access, and updated features to meet every offshore need. Improved protection at the helm is provided by an integrated wraparound windshield while the new cockpit SureShade® offers comfort for the new aft mezzanine seat and built-in tackle center. When not fishing, the new 41 offers upgraded accommodations and features below deck with a galley, double berth, and spacious head with shower. Additional options for 2019 include Taco® Grand Slam 380 outrigger bases with 20’ carbon fiber telescoping poles, a Seakeeper 6 and 1,700hp on tap from Yamaha’s recently released quad XTO 425hp engines. 26 BLUEWATER
