Eight questions buyers ask about the Regulator 31, answered from the boats listed on US Marine Connection right now.
How much does a used Regulator 31 cost?
Right now US Marine Connection shows 4 approved Regulator 31 listings with asking prices from $259,900 to $632,065, with a median of $572,873. Those are asking prices, not sale prices. The low end is the older used boat in the group, while the upper numbers belong to new, in-stock model years. All four listings include photos, so you can see what each boat looks like before reaching out.
What years of the 31 are for sale?
The current listings span 2017 through 2027. That includes a well-equipped 2017 that was owner-upgraded, a 2025 rigged with twin Yamaha XF450NSA2 engines, and new in-stock 2026 and 2027 boats. With only four listings live, the choice at any one year is thin, so the practical decision is usually between the one older used boat and the newer in-stock hulls.
How many hours is typical on a used 31?
Only one of the four descriptions states engine hours: the 2017 Regulator 31 FS with Yamaha F300s at 1,141 hours. That is a single data point, not a typical figure, and the other three are new or in-stock boats where hours are not listed. If hours matter to you, ask the seller directly for a current reading and any service records, since the site listings do not show them.
What should I check before buying a used 31?
With listings running 2017 to 2027, the used end deserves the most attention. On the 2017, verify the stated 1,141 hours against the engine computers, review maintenance records on the Yamaha F300s, and confirm the upgrades described actually work: Garmin 8617 displays, the Fantom radar, both Icom VHFs, the Seakeeper Ride unit and the new switch panel. On a center console, also inspect the console and deck for soft spots, check rigging and fuel system, and have a surveyor look at the hull and transom.
What features come on the 31?
Across these listings the 31 is a center console. The 2025 is described with twin Yamaha XF450NSA2 V8 XTO Offshore engines rated up to 450 HP each, Seakeeper Ride stabilization and a spacious layout. The 2017 lists Yamaha F300s, Seakeeper Ride, twin Garmin 8617 displays, Garmin Fantom open array radar, a Sionix camera, two Icom VHFs, a Fusion/JL stereo, center rigger, custom canvas, dive door and SeaDek. The 2026 and 2027 boats list 31.3 feet, a 10.3-foot beam and twin 450 HP Yamahas.
Is the 31 good for offshore use?
The descriptions point that way. The 2025 is called a premium center console suited to inshore and offshore adventures, built for anglers and families, with twin XTO Offshore engines and Seakeeper Ride stabilization for a smoother ride. The 2017 adds fishing-oriented gear such as a center rigger, open array radar and two VHFs, plus a dive door. Conditions and your own experience still determine how far out any 31-footer should run.
Where can I find a 31 for sale near me?
The four current Regulator 31 listings on US Marine Connection sit in three cities: St. Petersburg, Florida has two, with one each in Annapolis, Maryland and North Miami, Florida. So it is mostly a Florida search with one Chesapeake-area option. If none of those are close, it is worth checking back, since inventory at this count changes as listings come and go.
How much do 31 asking prices vary between listings?
The spread is wide: $259,900 at the low end to $632,065 at the top, a gap of about $372,000 across just four boats, with a median of $572,873. The main driver here is new versus used. The 2017 with 1,141 hours anchors the bottom, while the new in-stock 2026 and 2027 hulls with twin 450 HP Yamahas sit near the top. Compare year, engines and listed equipment before comparing numbers.
