Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2300 Bowrider 2013 vs Regal Boats 360 Commodore 1985 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 2300 Bowrider 2013 vs Regal Boats 360 Commodore 1985 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.
Both boats are rated for 12 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Regal Boats 360 Commodore 1985 at 42,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 2300 Bowrider 2013 at 24,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
