Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 vs Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 against a modified vee Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely 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 5260 Commodore 2008 measures 53,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 7,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 at 46,0 feet (2012). At 253 lbs and 344 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.
Bottom line: The Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 at 53,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 46 Sport Coupe 2012 at 46,0 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.
