2002 Regal Commodore 3060 Description
-
All builders of express cruisers strive for a well
laid-out cockpit, an accommodating cabin and stellar performance.
Finding all three qualities in one boat means somebody has done their
homework.
The Regal Commodore 3060s two-level cockpit offers passengers two seating options. The rear U-shaped lounge is down low well out of the wind. With the cockpit table in place the U-shaped lounge becomes a U-shaped dinette with seating for up to six adults. If more cockpit space is required, the rear bench seat easily folds and stores into the transom.
Alternatively, passengers can sit on the port side of the upper cockpit level, opposite the driver, on the curved companion seat. Between the two cockpit levels on the starboard side is a refreshment centre with sink and storage that can be equipped with an optional 12-volt refrigerator or icemaker.
With the rear bench seat folded into the transom, the engine hatch lifts high for easy access for fluid checks and servicing.
Set in dark burlwood, two levels of gauges are up high and in clear view of the helm. With most of the 12-volt accessory switches in the drivers armrest, there is more dash space for electronics. Although the Commodore 3060 has walkaround side decks, the easiest and safest route to the foredeck is up the wide moulded steps, through the wide opening windshield.
Belowdecks, Regal has stayed with the traditional mid-cabin express cruiser layout, with galley to port and dinette to starboard. In the galley, the stainless steel sink is deep enough to actually hold more than one plate at a time and counter space is augmented when the two-burner stove is covered with the hideaway Corian top.
Headroom is over six feet between the galley and dinette, in the stand-up dressing area of the forward cabin and even in the shower compartment. Fresh air ventilation in the cabin is no problem due to the large deck hatch over the forward berth, and several opening screened portholes throughout.
The icing on the cake for the Commodore 3060 is the solid ride and performance. Although the 3060 can be powered by a pair of smaller
V-6s or by larger twin 5.7s, the twin 5.0-litre, 250-hp Volvo Pentas are a good match. With a relatively light load, the boat up was up on plane in under seven seconds and able to stay on plane at just over 2,800 rpm, just under 18 mph. When we pushed the test boat throttles to 3,500 rpm, the fuel-injected Volvos accelerated the 3060 smoothly to an impressive 33.2 mph. We saw a top speed of 43.4 mph at 4,500 rpm; however, the port engine was having a hard time turning the recommended rpm and was actually holding the starboard engine back. Regal performance data on this engine/hull combination shows a more realistic top speed of 48 mph.
More important; however, is how easy the Commodore 3060 is to drive. It requires very few trim adjustments and handles confidently in the turns.
When it comes time for Regal to replace the 3060 with a new and improved model, its hard to imagine they will be able to create a more balanced blend of accommodations and performance.
