Expert assessment
Broker's take on the Regal 42 Grande Coupe
The 42 Grande Coupe is built for entertaining: glass enclosure doors slide fully open so the aft patio and upper salon become one space, and the retractable hardtop opens at the push of a button. Below, the aft stateroom, which Regal calls the largest in its class, has a king bed that converts to twins.
Regal's IPS 500 test shows efficient cruising near 1 mpg at 25 to 32 mph. PYM has one live listing and no recorded sales, so check value against similar Regal coupes.
