One of the most popular models in the Regulator Marine XO series, the 26XO ranks as one of the most versatile of all fishing boats. The smooth- and dry-riding hull of this center-console crossover gives anglers easy access to lakes, bays, coastal rivers and shallow waters, while also providing the capability to head out to fish the blue water when the time is right.
A new optional Half Tower with a second station for the 26XO gives anglers more navigational and fish-finding capabilities, with a height advantage when looking for fish, weed lines and flocks of birds, or steering around dangerous shoals and submerged objects.
With more than 122 square feet of deck space, seating that’s comfy and abundant, and generous storage, the 26XO excels in providing not only top-notch fishing features, but also family comfort and convenience. Integrated jumps seats fold out from the aft deck so crew can take a load off. But those same seats quickly fold away flush to transform the aft deck into a spacious casting platform for pinpoint presentations of lures and baits.

For anglers who want to carry live baits, the 26XO features a 32-gallon livewell in the Deluxe Tackle Center abaft the helm seats. For icing your catch, there’s a 70-gallon in-deck fish box ahead of the console, as well as locking rod storage beneath the bow seating.
Anglers have the option to add a versatile 72-inch bow-mount trolling motor with GPS autopilot, as well as dual 10-foot Power-Pole shallow-water anchoring systems on the transom. Built-in coolers, a stand-up head compartment, a forward sunshade option, and an optional removable watersports tow bar allow you to enjoy your time on the water any way you choose, whether fishing hard, day cruising, or relaxing and rafting up.
