Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 30 Express 2012 vs Regal Commodore 4460 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 30 Express 2012 vs Regal Commodore 4460 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal Commodore 4460 2007 measures 44,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 14,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 30 Express 2012 at 29,4 feet (2012). At 94 lbs and 22 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.
Bottom line: The Regal Commodore 4460 2007 at 44,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 30 Express 2012 at 29,4 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
