Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 3060 Express Cruiser 2011 vs Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 3060 Express Cruiser 2011 and the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 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 35 Sport Coupe 2012 measures 36,8 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 3060 Express Cruiser 2011 at 30,8 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 tips the scales at 129 lbs — 118 lbs less than the Regal 3060 Express Cruiser 2011 at 11 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
Bottom line: The Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 at 36,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 3060 Express Cruiser 2011 at 30,8 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.
