Regal 2750 Cuddy 2009 vs Regal 2860 Window Express 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regal 2750 Cuddy 2009 against a modified vee Regal 2860 Window Express 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Regal 2750 Cuddy 2009 at 28,5 ft versus Regal 2860 Window Express 2008 at 29,0 ft. At 61 lbs and 9 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.

Engine specs for the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 2750 Cuddy 2009 carries 86 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Regal 2860 Window Express 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 8 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Regal 2750 Cuddy 2009 and Regal 2860 Window Express 2008 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
