Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 vs Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 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 2700 Bowrider 2008 measures 28,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 24,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 at 4,0 feet (2008). At 58 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 420 hp, the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 has a 418-hp advantage over the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008's 2-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 carries 277 gallons versus 85 gallons in the Regal 2700 Bowrider 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 4060 Commodore 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 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 2700 Bowrider 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 vs Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 or the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008?
The Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 is the longer of the two at 28,0 feet overall. The Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 comes in at 4,0 feet, making it roughly 24,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 or the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008?
For trailering, the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 has the edge at 19 lbs dry weight versus 58 lbs for the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 is rated to a maximum of 420 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 tops out at 2 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 is certified for 12. 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 measures 156" wide, compared to 102" for the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 or the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008?
The Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 has the bigger tank at 277 gallons, versus 85 gallons on the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008. That 192-gallon difference translates to roughly 576–960 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 and Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Regal 2700 Bowrider 2008 and the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 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.
