Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 38 Express 2013 vs Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 38 Express 2013 is a deep-V design and the Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Regal 38 Express 2013 at 38,0 ft versus Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 at 40,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 tips the scales at 19 000 lbs - 3 800 lbs less than the Regal 38 Express 2013 at 15 200 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.
The Regal 38 Express 2013 is rated for up to 11 people. Passenger data for the Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 at 40,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 38 Express 2013 at 38,0 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.
