Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 vs Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 against a modified vee Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2009 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 52 Sport Coupe 2009 measures 53,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 16,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 at 36,8 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2009 tips the scales at 344 lbs — 215 lbs less than the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 at 129 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 52 Sport Coupe 2009 at 53,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2012 at 36,8 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.
