Expert assessment

Broker's take on the Regal 29 OBX

The 29 OBX solved the usual outboard problem of losing the swim platform. Regal added platforms to port and starboard of the motors, each with room to sit, stand and fish, or swim clear of the propellers.

The twin FasTrac steps help it plane quickly; BoatTEST recorded 4.3 seconds to plane and 52.6 mph with the standard twin F200s. Its best economy point was 27.3 mph at 11.2 gallons per hour.

The aft bench extends 10 inches into the cockpit at the push of a button. Reviewers called the head compartment tight, so check it in person if that matters to you.
