Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2011 vs Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2011 against a modified vee Regal 2665 Commodore 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 2665 Commodore 2008 measures 29,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2011 at 25,3 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 tips the scales at 685 lbs — 200 lbs less than the Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2011 at 485 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 2665 Commodore 2008 tops out at 375 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 carries 74 gallons versus 62 gallons in the Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2011. 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 2520 RX FasDeck 2011 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2520 RX FasDeck 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 25,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.
