Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 vs Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 is a modified-V design and the Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2013 is a deep-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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2013 measures 46,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 at 42,3 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2013 tips the scales at 25 300 lbs - 6 500 lbs less than the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 at 18 800 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.
Bottom line: The Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2013 at 46,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 at 42,3 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.
