Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 28 Express 2012 vs Regal 3760 Sportyacht 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regal 28 Express 2012 against a modified vee Regal 3760 Sportyacht 2010 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 3760 Sportyacht 2010 measures 38,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 9,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 28 Express 2012 at 28,8 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 28 Express 2012 tips the scales at 7 585 lbs — 7 433 lbs more than the Regal 3760 Sportyacht 2010 at 152 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.
Bottom line: The Regal 3760 Sportyacht 2010 at 38,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 28 Express 2012 at 28,8 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.
