If you spend your time on the big water of Lake Ontario or navigate the currents of the St. Lawrence River, you know that not all boats are created equal. In Northern New York, we deal with fast-building chop, heavy winds, and seasons that start cold and end colder. You need a boat that is more than just pretty. You need a boat that is overbuilt.
At Spicer Marine in Clayton, NY, we brought Regulator to our docks because our customers told us they wanted the absolute best. They wanted a boat that looks as good as it performs and lasts long enough to pass down to their grandkids.
Regulator Marine started in 1988 in an old grocery store in Edenton, North Carolina. The founders, Joan and Owen Maxwell, were boaters who were tired of compromises. They worked with famous naval architect Lou Codega to design a hull that could handle the dangerous inlets of the Outer Banks.
Their mission was to build the finest center console sportfishing boats in the world. Today, they are still a family-owned company that treats every owner like part of the family. When you step onto a Regulator, you are stepping onto almost 40 years of offshore history.


What makes a Regulator the best boat for Lake Ontario and the big water of Upstate New York is what you can’t see.
The attention to detail on a Regulator is world-class. If you look closely, even the heads of the screws are all turned the same way. The upholstery is soft but tough enough to handle fish scales and sun. The gelcoat is thick and stays shiny for years. Every part of the boat, from the cushions to the integrated T-tops, feels solid and refined. It is a "top-tier" product in every sense of the word.
Buying a Regulator is an investment in your peace of mind. These boats have some of the highest resale values in the industry. People know that a used Regulator is often better than a brand-new boat from a lesser brand.
Creature Comforts: These aren't just fishing machines. They feature wrap-around bow seating, electric heads, and even air-conditioned cabins on larger models. With gyrostabilizer technology, you can sit still in the waves without the boat rocking.
The Regulator Community: When you buy a Regulator, you join an elite group of owners. From owners' rendezvous events to factory support that stays with you for life, you are never alone on the water.


At Spicer Marine, we don't just sell you a boat and wave goodbye. We provide the expert service and winter storage solutions that New York boaters need to keep their investment in peak condition.
When you choose a Regulator from Spicer Marine, you are getting more than just a boat. You are getting the confidence to explore the furthest reaches of the 1000 Islands and the wildest parts of Lake Ontario in total comfort.
