Regal 28 Express 2013 vs Regal Commodore 2665 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Regal 28 Express 2013 vs Regal Commodore 2665 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Regal 28 Express 2013 at 28,8 ft versus Regal Commodore 2665 2007 at 29,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 28 Express 2013 tips the scales at 7 585 lbs - 735 lbs more than the Regal Commodore 2665 2007 at 6 850 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal Commodore 2665 2007 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Regal 28 Express 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal Commodore 2665 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal Commodore 2665 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 13 passengers and at 29,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 28 Express 2013 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 28 Express 2013 vs Regal Commodore 2665 2007 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Regal 28 Express 2013 or the Regal Commodore 2665 2007?
The Regal Commodore 2665 2007 is the longer of the two at 29,0 feet overall. The Regal 28 Express 2013 comes in at 28,8 feet, making it roughly 0,2 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Regal 28 Express 2013 or the Regal Commodore 2665 2007?
For trailering, the Regal Commodore 2665 2007 has the edge at 6 850 lbs dry weight versus 7 585 lbs for the Regal 28 Express 2013. 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.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Regal 28 Express 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Regal Commodore 2665 2007 is certified for 13. 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.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Regal 28 Express 2013 and Regal Commodore 2665 2007 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.6 m) beam - meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
How do the fuel tanks compare on the Regal 28 Express 2013 and Regal Commodore 2665 2007?
Both boats carry similar fuel loads - 73 gallons and 74 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.
Are the Regal 28 Express 2013 and Regal Commodore 2665 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Regal 28 Express 2013 and the Regal Commodore 2665 2007 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.
