Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2300 Bowrider 2012 vs Regal Commodore 4460 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 2300 Bowrider 2012 vs Regal Commodore 4460 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 Commodore 4460 2007 measures 44,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2012 at 24,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2012 tips the scales at 398 lbs — 376 lbs more than the Regal Commodore 4460 2007 at 22 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal Commodore 4460 2007 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2012 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal Commodore 4460 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal Commodore 4460 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 44,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2300 Bowrider 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
