The Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 measures 156" wide, compared to 102" for the Regal 2700 ES 2009. 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.

The Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 has the bigger tank at 277 gallons, versus 86 gallons on the Regal 2700 ES 2009. That 191-gallon difference translates to roughly 573–955 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Regal 2700 ES 2009 and Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Regal 2700 ES 2009 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.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Regal 2700 ES 2009 vs Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Regal 2700 ES 2009 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 ES 2009 measures 28,5 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 24,5 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 Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 2700 ES 2009 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 86 gallons in the Regal 2700 ES 2009. 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 2009 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 2700 ES 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 2700 ES 2009 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 4060 Commodore 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
