Regal 2100 RX 2009 vs Regal Window Express 2860 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Regal 2100 RX 2009 vs Regal Window Express 2860 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal Window Express 2860 2007 measures 29,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2100 RX 2009 at 21,0 feet (2009). At 34 lbs and 9 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal Window Express 2860 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Regal 2100 RX 2009 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal Window Express 2860 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal Window Express 2860 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 29,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2100 RX 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Regal 2100 RX 2009 vs Regal Window Express 2860 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Regal 2100 RX 2009 or the Regal Window Express 2860 2007?
The Regal Window Express 2860 2007 is the longer of the two at 29,0 feet overall. The Regal 2100 RX 2009 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 8,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 2100 RX 2009 or the Regal Window Express 2860 2007?
For trailering, the Regal Window Express 2860 2007 has the edge at 9 lbs dry weight versus 34 lbs for the Regal 2100 RX 2009. 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.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Regal 2100 RX 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 1 passengers, while the Regal Window Express 2860 2007 is certified for 8. 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 Window Express 2860 2007 measures 114" wide, compared to 102" for the Regal 2100 RX 2009. 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 2100 RX 2009 or the Regal Window Express 2860 2007?
The Regal 2100 RX 2009 has the bigger tank at 42 gallons, versus 1 gallons on the Regal Window Express 2860 2007. That 41-gallon difference translates to roughly 123–205 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Regal 2100 RX 2009 and Regal Window Express 2860 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Regal 2100 RX 2009 and the Regal Window Express 2860 2007 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.
