The new Regal LS9 has a neat new trick that allows for adjustable height while maintaining protection and co*fort for those onboard

Regal’s new Regal LS9 may look like just another scaled up bow rider but it is beautifully done and has a world-class trick up its sleeve. It’s called the Power Tower and consists of a substantial GRP hardtop that lowers at the touch of a button to windscreen-level, like a giant clam shell lid.

The best bit about this Power Tower is that there’s still enough headroom for everyone to sit underneath it, making it ideal for sheltering from passing showers or ducking under bridges.

Elsewhere, it’s business as usual but the build quality is a cut above the usual American mass market brands. Thoughtful touches like fully lined seat lockers with gas-strut assisted lids that don’t require you to remove the cushions first make life on board that much easier.

The LS9 has lots of seating, a handy heads and 50-knot performance

Masses of upholstered seats, reversible back rests that convert the rear ones into sunloungers and a good-sized heads co*partment hidden behind the portside console ensure it fulfils its role as a sociable party boat.

However, a smooth but powerful petrol V8 inboard also delivers serious performance with a top speed of more than 50 knots and enough grunt to make light work of pulling boat tubes, towables and wakeboarders. You can even order it with a drop-down watersports platform for easy access to the water.
