Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2013 vs Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2013 and the Regal 42 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 42 Sport Coupe 2012 measures 42,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 5,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2013 at 36,8 feet (2013). At 129 lbs and 205 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Regal 35 Sport Coupe 2013 is rated for up to 11 people. Passenger data for the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2012 at 42,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list.
