Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 38 Express 2013 vs Regal Commodore 4080 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 38 Express 2013 vs Regal Commodore 4080 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 38 Express 2013 measures 38,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 34,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal Commodore 4080 2007 at 4,0 feet (2007). At 152 lbs and 193 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal Commodore 4080 2007 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Regal 38 Express 2013 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal Commodore 4080 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal Commodore 4080 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 4,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal 38 Express 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
