Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
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.
