When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 2860 Express Cruiser 2011 and the Regal 3350 Cuddy 2010 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 3350 Cuddy 2010 measures 34,7 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 5,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 2860 Express Cruiser 2011 at 29,4 feet (2011). At 94 lbs and 114 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.
