My first Regal we buoght in winter of 2005. 2001 3780 Regal Commodore. We like the boat so much we decided to trade in for an updated version a 2006 leftover 3880 with Yannmars.
My first was a 1988 200 empress cuddy ,had it for 11 years I loved every inch of it.
My second was a 1988 360 commodore a project boat had it for three years.
My third is a 2003 3860
Our 1989 Regal 280 Commodore is our first Regal.
We kinda hate to get rid of it - which makes trading up to a newer larger boat a tough decision - since we still like it so much.
She should still have many good years left in her.
First boat(after 40 years+ "aviation minded"), first Regal, a 2004 2465, bought in february 2006, almost 'new', just 40h engine time (I have 220h with her now).
My only Regal was a 2001 2465 in 2005 with 39 hours on her. Once I dialed in the prop, she ran like a scalded rat at 2 MPG. Damn fine boat. I traded her for a '99 330 Dancer. Three reasons.
1. Regals in that size were out of my price range. Regal was definitely a nicer boat inside.
2. Center windshield walk through, low railings and no walkaround to negotiate dockings.
3. No trade in's accepted at Mears Point. When I told them I had a Regal to trade, I was treated as a bastard stepchild and was obviously just a poser not worthy of their time. I guess I was supposed to be impressed by his gold chains and Rolex. Very bad taste in my mouth from that and that was 2 years ago.
