Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 35 Express 2011 vs Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regal 35 Express 2011 against a modified vee Regal 4060 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 35 Express 2011 measures 34,7 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 30,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 at 4,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 35 Express 2011 tips the scales at 135 lbs — 116 lbs more than the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 at 19 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.
The Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 35 Express 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 carries 277 gallons versus 168 gallons in the Regal 35 Express 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Regal 35 Express 2011 at 34,7 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 4060 Commodore 2008 at 4,0 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.
