The Regal 4460 Commodore Express 2009 vs Regal Boats 42 Fly 2020 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Regal 4460 Commodore Express 2009 at 44,6 ft versus Regal Boats 42 Fly 2020 at 42,0 ft.
