Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 vs Regal Window Express 2860 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 vs Regal Window Express 2860 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 at 29,0 ft versus Regal Window Express 2860 2007 at 29,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 tips the scales at 685 lbs — 676 lbs more than the Regal Window Express 2860 2007 at 9 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 Window Express 2860 2007 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 carries 74 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Regal Window Express 2860 2007. 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 2665 Commodore 2008 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Regal Window Express 2860 2007 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2665 Commodore 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 29,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal Window Express 2860 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
