Both the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 and Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.6 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 or the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008?

The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 has the bigger tank at 74 gallons, versus 54 gallons on the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010. That 20-gallon difference translates to roughly 60–100 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 and Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 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.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 vs Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 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 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 at 24,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 tips the scales at 685 lbs — 298 lbs less than the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 at 387 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 2665 Commodore 2008 tops out at 375 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 carries 74 gallons versus 54 gallons in the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2010. 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 2300 Bowrider 2010 caps at 12. 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 2300 Bowrider 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
