Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 35 Express 2011 vs Regal Commodore 5260 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 35 Express 2011 vs Regal Commodore 5260 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 5260 2007 measures 53,0 feet overall (2007), 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 Commodore 5260 2007 tips the scales at 30 825 lbs — 30 690 lbs less than the Regal 35 Express 2011 at 135 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 Commodore 5260 2007 at 53,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 35 Express 2011 at 34,7 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.
