A 2023 Regulator 26 XO, asking $189,900 through Moore Yacht Sales. The XO is the Edenton, North Carolina yard's crossover: Lou Codega, who has drawn every Regulator hull, gave this one 17 degrees of deadrise against the 24 of the offshore boats, a 14-inch engine-up draft and a hydraulic jackplate — half flats boat, half the ride the brand is known for, on 26.75 ft of hull over a 9.25 ft beam. The model has only been in build since 2019, so a 2023 example is about as recent as the used market gets.

Two honesty notes. We hold no sister 26 XO — this is the only Regulator on our shelf — so the ask has no in-model benchmark. And it reaches the market through two brokers, so expect to meet it twice.

What the shelf can do is place the price: per foot, this is the most expensive boat in its comparable set. Regulator's build reputation earns a premium used; the neighbors price its parts — the year, the length, the badge — one door each.

The bluntest trade is same-year length: the 2023 Wellcraft 302 Fisherman at Key Largo carries four more feet and asks $19,910 less:

2023 Wellcraft 302 Fisherman · $169,990 — Same year, four more feet, $19,910 less — length for badge.

The only boat in the set asking more is the size upgrade — the Scout 320 LXF in Michigan, six more feet for $20,100 over this one, but a 2017 hull against a 2023:

2017 Scout 320 LXF · $210,000 — The upgrade on size — six more feet for $20,100 more, six years older.

And where the budget instinct leads — our center consoles under $100k — the 2018 Wellcraft 262 Fisherman at Miami Beach matches this boat foot for foot, five years older, $108,000 less:

2018 Wellcraft 262 Fisherman · $81,900 — The same 26 feet, five years older, $108,000 less — the cost of the badge and the build date.

None of the three is a Codega hull with a 2023 date on it. If that pairing is what you came for, the boat at the top of this page is the one to survey — and with no sister on our shelf to price it against, the survey is doing the work the comparables usually do.
