The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 is the longer of the two at 29,0 feet overall. The Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 comes in at 28,5 feet, making it roughly 0,5 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

For trailering, the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 has the edge at 58 lbs dry weight versus 685 lbs for the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008.

The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 has a documented max rating of 375 hp. Engine specifications for the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 13 passengers, while the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 is certified for 16. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?

Both the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 and Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.5 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 or the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010?

The Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 has the bigger tank at 86 gallons, versus 74 gallons on the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008. That 12-gallon difference translates to roughly 36–60 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 and Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 and the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 are built by Regal. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 vs Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 against a deep vee Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 at 29,0 ft versus Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 at 28,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 tips the scales at 685 lbs — 627 lbs more than the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 at 58 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 carries a rated maximum of 375 hp. Engine data for the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 carries 86 gallons versus 74 gallons in the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008. 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 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 is rated for 16 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 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2700 ES Bowrider 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 28,5 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.
