At Strong’s Marine, we are proud to be a premier Regal Boats dealer, offering expert guidance to help you find the perfect model for your needs. Recently, Dave Russell, one of our seasoned sales consultants, flew down to Regal’s headquarters in Orlando, Florida, to experience the LX43 firsthand alongside Chad from the Regal product team. This exclusive preview offered Dave an up-close look at the boat’s newest innovations—and gave us valuable insight we now bring directly to you.
In this guide, we’ll explore what makes the Regal LX43 unique, how it compares to competitors, pricing considerations, and why it might be the perfect addition to your boating lifestyle.
Dave Russell didn’t just read the spec sheet—he stepped aboard the LX43 and saw the boat come to life. From the moment he walked onto the deck he knew this was something special. Dave Russell is no stranger to quality boats and Regal's models
When it comes to understanding the nuances of Regal Boats, few know the brand as intimately as Dave Russell. A seasoned sales consultant at Strong’s Marine, Dave has earned a place in the Regal President’s Club and was inducted into the Regal Million Dollar Club in 2023, recognizing his outstanding product knowledge and client service. Over the years, he’s also consistently earned top honors with Pursuit, including Club Pursuit designations from 2018 through 2023. His dedication to matching clients with the right boat led him to fly down to Florida for an exclusive walkthrough and sea trial of the new Regal LX43. Touring the boat alongside Regal’s product specialist, Dave gained firsthand insight into its layout, performance, and onboard systems—bringing that knowledge back to guide his clients with confidence. His on-the-water trial confirmed what the specs suggested: the LX43 is a showstopper in both style and substance.
Dave shared. “The attention to detail, the seamless integration of technology, and how Regal thought through every inch of usable space—it’s next-level.”
Chad from Regal personally walked Dave through each feature, including the electronic side windows, convertible seating, and the new digital switching systems. Seeing the dual Terrace Doors unfold and open the deck right into the water made a lasting impression. “It was like stepping onto your own floating terrace,” Dave said. “This is a boat built for luxury, entertainment, and pure enjoyment—and I can’t wait for our clients to get aboard.”
The Sea Trial of the LX 43
Dave documented a comprehensive walkthrough of the LX43 for his client, capturing detailed videos and photos, showcasing the vessel’s standout features, and speaking directly with Regal’s experts to ensure precise, firsthand information was provided. Below see only a fraction of the video Dave captured on board the Regal LX 43 Sea Trial!
A sea trial is one of the most important steps in truly understanding a boat’s performance, layout, and livability especially when its new to market! While specs and walkthrough videos provide valuable information, nothing compares to getting out on the water. For our team at Strong’s Marine, conducting a sea trial—like Dave Russell did with the Regal LX43—allows us to assess handling, responsiveness, comfort underway, and how the boat performs in real-world conditions. It’s also a chance to evaluate details that matter to our clients, from visibility at the helm to the flow of the layout when entertaining. This hands-on experience helps us deliver smarter, more personalized recommendations and ensures that every client feels confident in their investment.
Since this model is newly released, it was important for the client to fully understand the boat and feel confident in their purchase with guidance from a trusted sales professional. While some new boat buyers may choose to skip a sea trial on a familiar model, it’s always worth discussing with your sales consultant to ensure you're making the most informed decision when securing your new boat.
Departing from the traditional cabin cruiser or center console format, the LX43 is engineered for maximum open space and boasts one of the most expansive bowrider lounges in its class. The lounge is thoughtfully designed with sweeping wraparound seating, premium upholstery, and versatile layouts—providing exceptional comfort for sunbathing, social gatherings, or simply enjoying the sea breeze underway.
The LX43’s helm is purpose-built for intuitive control and advanced onboard management. From this command center, operators can seamlessly access all vessel systems, from digital switching and audio to RGBW lighting and the PowerShade. Outfitted with three 22-inch Garmin touchscreen displays, an intuitive joystick, and automatic trim assist, the helm ensures smooth, precise navigation—even in tight docking situations.
At the transom, the LX43 features Regal’s signature UltraLounge—an adaptable seating system that seamlessly transitions from an expansive sunpad to forward-facing benches. This flexible design allows guests to enjoy personalized comfort, whether relaxing at anchor or underway.
Ergonomically designed with multiposition backrests and an electric helm seat, the LX43 offers a seating arrangement focused on maximizing onboard enjoyment. The helm seat adjusts effortlessly for standing or sitting, and the versatile backrest flips to become aft-facing, creating an inviting space for socializing while at anchor.
Cabin Comfort: More Than Just a Day Boat
Unlike many bowriders that focus solely on open-deck entertainment, the LX43 includes a full cabin with:
This makes the LX43 not only a luxury day boat but also a capable weekender.
The Regal LX43 stands out among luxury bowriders and sport yachts. It boasts the most spacious bow seating in its category. Unlike competitors such as Formula, which lacks air conditioning in the 430 SSC, the LX43's full cabin includes AC. Similarly, the Sea Ray SLX offers a smaller cabin without air conditioning.
