Both the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 and the Regal 3060 Express Cruiser 2010 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 3060 Express Cruiser 2010 measures 30,8 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 at 26,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 3060 Express Cruiser 2010 tips the scales at 10 500 lbs - 5 850 lbs less than the Regal 2400 Bowrider 2008 at 4 650 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 2400 Bowrider 2008 carries a rated maximum of 375 hp.
