Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 vs Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 against a modified vee Regal 3760 IO 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 3760 IO Commodore 2008 measures 38,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 16,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 at 22,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 tips the scales at 395 lbs — 243 lbs more than the Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 at 152 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 320 hp, the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 has a 318-hp advantage over the Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008's 2-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 3760 IO Commodore 2008 carries 276 gallons versus 54 gallons in the Regal 2250 Cuddy 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 3760 IO Commodore 2008 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 38,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 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 2250 Cuddy 2008 vs Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 or the Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008?
The Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 is the longer of the two at 38,0 feet overall. The Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 comes in at 22,0 feet, making it roughly 16,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 or the Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008?
For trailering, the Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 has the edge at 152 lbs dry weight versus 395 lbs for the Regal 2250 Cuddy 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 2250 Cuddy 2008 is rated to a maximum of 320 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 tops out at 2 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 2250 Cuddy 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 1 passengers, while the Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 is certified for 11. 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 3760 IO Commodore 2008 measures 146" wide, compared to 102" for the Regal 2250 Cuddy 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 2250 Cuddy 2008 or the Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008?
The Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 has the bigger tank at 276 gallons, versus 54 gallons on the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008. That 222-gallon difference translates to roughly 666–1110 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 and Regal 3760 IO Commodore 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Regal 2250 Cuddy 2008 and the Regal 3760 IO 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.
