When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2860 Express Cruiser 2011 and the Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Regal 2860 Express Cruiser 2011 at 29,4 ft versus Regal 3200 Bowrider 2013 at 32,0 ft. At 94 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.
