Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Regal 2860 Window Express 2008 vs Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Regal 2860 Window Express 2008 against a deep vee Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 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.

Engine data for the Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 carries 328 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Regal 2860 Window Express 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Bottom line: The Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 at 46,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list.
