Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 vs Regal Boats 30 Express 2016 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 vs Regal Boats 30 Express 2016 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Regal Boats 30 Express 2016 has a 248-hp advantage over the Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008's 2-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Regal Boats 30 Express 2016 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 3760 IB Commodore 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 38,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal Boats 30 Express 2016 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
