Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2011 vs Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2011 against a modified vee Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 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 RX Bowrider 2011 measures 24,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 at 4,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2011 tips the scales at 398 lbs — 205 lbs more than the Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 at 193 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 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 carries 252 gallons versus 54 gallons in the Regal 2300 RX Bowrider 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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 2300 RX Bowrider 2011 at 24,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 at 4,0 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.
