Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 vs Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 against a modified vee Regal 4060 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 2550 Cuddy 2011 measures 26,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 22,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 at 4,0 feet (2008). At 5 lbs and 19 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 carries 277 gallons versus 68 gallons in the Regal 2550 Cuddy 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 4060 Commodore 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 4,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 2550 Cuddy 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
