Regal 50 SAV & LX4 Outboard 

Regal 50SAV-LX4

OPEN-AIR FOCUS Regal's 50 SAV uses triple outboards, fold-down terraces and two staterooms to create a capable weekender with much of her living space outdoors. The LX4 Outboard distills the same idea into a 24-foot bowrider with wraparound seating, a generous swim platform and a size that keeps ownership and storage straightforward.
