The Regal 35 Express 2011 is a deep-V design and the Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 5260 Commodore 2008 measures 53,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 18,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 35 Express 2011 at 34,7 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 tips the scales at 34 400 lbs - 20 900 lbs less than the Regal 35 Express 2011 at 13 500 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.
