Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 vs Regal 4080 Sportyacht 2011: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 is a deep-V design and the Regal 4080 Sportyacht 2011 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 4080 Sportyacht 2011 measures 40,1 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 12,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 at 27,3 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 4080 Sportyacht 2011 tips the scales at 19 300 lbs - 13 800 lbs less than the Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 at 5 500 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 27 FasDeck RX 2012 is rated for up to 14 people. Passenger data for the Regal 4080 Sportyacht 2011 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 4080 Sportyacht 2011 at 40,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 27 FasDeck RX 2012 at 27,3 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
