Regulator 26XO - Suit Boston Whaler and Grady White buyers

The 2026 Regulator 26XO delivers true crossover capability, giving you the freedom to fish shallow estuaries, explore bays and rivers, and still run offshore when conditions allow. Its hybrid hull, wide beam, and powerful Yamaha XTO 450 make it one of the most versatile 8-metre class center consoles available today.

Performance & Ride
Powered by a Yamaha XTO Offshore 450 hp engine with Digital Electric Steering (DES), DEC digital controls, and EX Autopilot, the 26XO provides precise handling, effortless maneuvering, and strong hole-shot performance whether running shallow or offshore.
The standard Seakeeper Ride(TM) system reduces pitch and roll for a noticeably smoother, more stable ride in chop and wake.
