Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2300 Bowrider 2013 vs Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regal 2300 Bowrider 2013 against a modified vee Regal 3060 Window Express 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 2300 Bowrider 2013 measures 24,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 21,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 at 3,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2013 tips the scales at 398 lbs — 293 lbs more than the Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 at 105 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 2300 Bowrider 2013 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 56 gallons in the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2013. 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 2300 Bowrider 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2300 Bowrider 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 3060 Window Express 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
