Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 vs Regal Commodore 4460 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 vs Regal Commodore 4460 2007 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 measures 53,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 9,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal Commodore 4460 2007 at 44,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 tips the scales at 34 400 lbs - 12 400 lbs more than the Regal Commodore 4460 2007 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Regal Commodore 4460 2007 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Regal 5260 Commodore 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 16 passengers and at 53,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Regal Commodore 4460 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.
