Remarks

Boatbuilders face an ongoing conundrum: how to give the buyer the spaciousness he wants without compromising the styling he expects. The issue is even more important when the boat is an express cruiser. Styling isn’t merely important here, it’s everything. Speed? Performance? They’re expected. It’s creating acreage below without slab-siding those sleek lines that really tests a builder’s ingenuity. So how did Regal provide its flagship express, the Commodore 4160, with 6'6" headroom throughout the main saloon and not just at the foot of the companionway, where most builders place the tape? And how did it manage to lose only an inch or two of headroom in the forward master stateroom without making the boat look like a shiny, white Pennsylvania barn door? Approach the boat from astern and you’ll begin to get it. For instance, secured above the swim platform is an additional removable step that allows you to reach the cockpit without straining a hamstring. You enter that cockpit through either of two flanking positive-bolted doors, a big plus since you won’t have to think twice about which side of the dock you want to pull up to. That swim platform–bolted on, not molded in–can hold a PWC, but since it’s a few inches above the water, you’ll have to struggle to get a heavy PWC aboard. You might want to consider an aftermarket adjustable platform such as that offered by TNT. The additional transom height adds to interior spaciousness, but what about freeboard? Well, it doesn’t seem very high, but that sharp upward slope from transom to the cockpit and the gradual slant down of the foredeck leave an area of considerable freeboard in the 4160’s midsection. Innovative touches such as a straight sheer with a dramatic flair aft, gently inward-curving side deck coamings, and an aluminum radar arch with a pronounced forward lower leg that then angles sharply back maintain the sleek lines of the Commodore. You can’t fool Mother Nature,
