When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 and the Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 are modified 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 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 measures 40,1 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 36,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 at 4,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 tips the scales at 193 lbs — 174 lbs less than the Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 at 19 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 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Regal 4060 Sport Yacht 2009 carries 276 gallons versus 252 gallons in the Regal 4080 Flybridge Sedan 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
