Same bottom, deeper cabin, not sure about the freeboard. Regal supposedly also let them get overweight. I would expect the true Velocity or Thourghbred be a little faster.

I agree with the last poster! the 22' and 23' are great small boats that are a blast to drive and run faster than almost anything out there as long as you can keep it up on the pad. Enjoy the boat, you've got a great platform to work off of!

The 23' will probably not handle the higher HP and speed as well as the 22'. I remember the 23's having a harder time staying on the pad back in the day. I believe Regal bought the molds around '86 or '87. They are fun boats to drive.

I have rigged and driven tons of Velocities and the 22 is a great fast boat if you balance it properly. The Regal 22 was actually build by Steve's guys at another shop in Deland, FL while Regal built the 23 and 30. I have been in 22's that were bone stock 330hp that run 70 GPS out of the box. I also have driven 22's that run 110 mph with a 700 hp/ Bravo set up. Tons of fun and a great boat! Maybe someone will get the company up and running again!!!!!!!!!!!!
