2009 Regal 2860 Window Express

Step aboard this 2860 and the first thing you notice is how Regal squeezed big-boat thinking into a trailerable footprint. The wide swim platform and transom walk-through make jumping in for a swim or loading gear effortless, and the extended arch gives a little extra shade right where you want it. At the helm, the double-wide seat and smart dash layout mean long runs are genuinely comfortable, not a chore. Below, the mid-cabin is more than an afterthought—there’s real adult-sized sleeping space and decent headroom for changing. Thoughtful touches like dedicated storage for fenders, a proper battery management system, and easy engine-room access make ownership simpler weekend after weekend.

This 2860 Window Express shines in waters where weekends can throw a bit of everything at you—from choppy afternoon breezes to calm evening cruises. The stepped hull helps the boat plane quickly and run efficiently over mixed conditions, while the moderate draft lets you nose into shallower coves and sandbars. Its size strikes a sweet balance: substantial enough to feel secure in open stretches, yet compact enough for tighter marinas and busier waterways. With proper overnight accommodations and climate-friendly ventilation from those signature windows and hatches, it’s well suited to spontaneous weekend getaways without needing a larger, more demanding cruiser.
