Both the Regal 4460 Commodore Express 2009 and the Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2011 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 52 Sport Coupe 2011 measures 53,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 8,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 4460 Commodore Express 2009 at 44,6 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 52 Sport Coupe 2011 tips the scales at 34 400 lbs - 12 400 lbs less than the Regal 4460 Commodore Express 2009 at 22 000 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.
