Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2000 RS 2009 vs Regal 3060 Window Express 2008: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 2000 RS 2009 is a deep-V design and the Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 3060 Window Express 2008 measures 30,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 9,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2000 RS 2009 at 20,2 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 tips the scales at 10 500 lbs - 7 000 lbs less than the Regal 2000 RS 2009 at 3 500 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 Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2000 RS 2009 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 carries 151 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Regal 2000 RS 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 9 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 at 30,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2000 RS 2009 at 20,2 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
