Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the Commodore 3860fromRegalfor versatile family use: overnight cruising with true privacy, relaxed day trips, and even light charter entertaining. The two-stateroom, two-head layout—often with the second head tucked into the aft cabin—works as advertised, with sliding privacy doors, high‑gloss cherry joinery, a hardwood galley floor, and a roomy salon that feels practical rather than flashy. Outside, the large semi-circular cockpit seating, wet bar, and foredeck sunpad make it an easy platform for hosting.
On the water, performance varies meaningfully by propulsion. Gas Volvo Penta 8.1 packages are commonly listed around an ~18‑knot cruise with 30+ knots at the top, while diesel or IPS versions are frequently advertised in the 21–26‑knot cruise range. Owner notes point to real-world readings like 22–23 MPH at 3400 RPM (MPH, not knots), and several report the boat’s weight demands tabs and higher RPM to stay on plane, with comments that it “will barely stay on plane” below roughly 3200 RPM. Diesel/IPS boats earn praise for dockside manners, described as turning on a dime with simple control inputs.
Maintenance feedback is mixed but consistent in themes. Multiple forum posts call out shower sump and AC condensate plumbing—often with Attwood-style sump boxes—as recurring trouble spots for clogs and overflows that can leak into cabins. On some used boats, replaced items such as a wiring harness, starter, DC‑DC converter, or a turbo are noted in ads, underscoring that systems attention may be needed with age. A clear plus is serviceability: the hydraulic lift of the aft cockpit/deck provides walk‑in engine-room access from the swim platform, which owners and brokers repeatedly highlight.
Pros and Cons
- Two private staterooms and two heads genuinely support family overnight cruising.
- Diesel or IPS-equipped boats are praised for precise low-speed maneuvering.
- Hydraulic aft-cockpit lift offers walk-in engine-room access that eases maintenance.
- Heavy hull needs higher RPM and tabs to stay on plane efficiently.
- Shower sump and AC condensate plumbing issues can cause clogs, overflows, and leaks.
- Some used boats show non-trivial replaced components like wiring harnesses or a turbo.
