Regal 30 Express 2013 vs Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Regal 30 Express 2013 against a modified vee Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 measures 38,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 8,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 30 Express 2013 at 29,4 feet (2013). At 94 lbs and 152 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.

The Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 30 Express 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 carries 276 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Regal 30 Express 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Regal 30 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 3760 IB Commodore 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 38,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 30 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.

The Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 is the longer of the two at 38,0 feet overall. The Regal 30 Express 2013 comes in at 29,4 feet, making it roughly 8,6 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
