Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 vs Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 against a modified vee Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 measures 29,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 at 19,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 tips the scales at 685 lbs — 654 lbs less than the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 at 31 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 375 hp, the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 has a 105-hp advantage over the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008's 270-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 carries 74 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 29,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 vs Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 or the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008?
The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 is the longer of the two at 29,0 feet overall. The Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 comes in at 19,0 feet, making it roughly 10,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 or the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008?
For trailering, the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 has the edge at 31 lbs dry weight versus 685 lbs for the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 is rated to a maximum of 375 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 tops out at 270 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 is certified for 13. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 measures 102" wide, compared to 99" for the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 or the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008?
The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 has the bigger tank at 74 gallons, versus 3 gallons on the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008. That 71-gallon difference translates to roughly 213–355 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 and Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Regal 1900 Bowrider 2008 and the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 are built by Regal. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
