Your needs are specific when it comes to marine power...like toughness and dependability...fuel efficiency and performance. These are the foundations on which we've built our business in addition to quality service, parts availability and expert technical assistance at ports of call around the world.

Our success in the marine market includes over eighty years of experience. Today, with propulsion and auxiliary engines from 50 to 2000 horsepower (37 to 1492 kW), we power generating sets and pump units...gill netters and ferries...yachts and tugboats... fishing boats, fire boats, seiners, and crew boats...all over the world.

The structure of our business today includes two separate entities. Cummins Marine, a Division of Cummins Incorporated, focuses on marine engine applications above 15 liters of displacement. This includes applications for propulsion power, auxiliary power, gensets and generator drive engines. Typically, these engines are applied in workboats or any vessel that works or earns revenue. This market segment is commonly referred to as commercial.

Cummins MerCruiser Diesel, the newly formed joint venture between Cummins Marine and Mercury MerCruiser, focuses on marine engine applications below 15 liters of displacement for yachts, military craft, sport fishing boats, trawlers and commercial vessels. Both Cummins Marine and Cummins MerCruiser Diesel are located in Charleston, South Carolina, USA.

Consider this: The Commodore 3880's curtailed dimensions are actually an asset. It's the sedan that will fit in that last, odd-shaped, unsold corner slip at the marina with the long waiting list. It's the boat that you can spin around in a narrow canal. It's the boat that'll cost less to paint, wax, and store.

Step aboard and see for yourself. The Commodore 3880 is well finished, bursting with storage, and encourages long weekends afloat. For an indication of this craft's workmanship, check out any caulked seam. Each bead is consistent in height, width, and butter-line smoothness.

Stowage? The underside of the flying bridge overhang is impressive. Stand in the cockpit, reach up, and undo the latches. A huge swing-down hatch opens to reveal stowage for eight life jackets. Equally nice is the foldout transom bench. Taking space that normally goes unused and converting it to stowage is the mark of a boat designed by boaters for boaters.

Accommodations? Step through the companionway door. The Commodore 3880's high sidedecks allow for a wider interior and large, fixed windows. Plop into one of two swiveling-barrel leather chairs or lounge in the raised convertible dinette. There's no feeling of enclosure.

Galley highlights include a faux-granite counter, sturdy solid-bottomed wood drawers, and Regal's proprietary stove cover. It cuts the juice when you cover the burners. Table service for four is standard, but keep the plastic plant decorations. Why do builders feel they have to include this stuff, anyway?

Forward, the master stateroom features an innerspring mattress, not a pad, and private access to the head. A pocket door provides privacy. Also, with my back against the mirrored anchor locker bulkhead, I could sit up straight and read. The forward headroom aboard many boats under 40' lets you merely lie down and prop up your head. Another advantage of the Commodore 3880's raised decks.

The guest stateroom is convertible. Choose two single berths or add the filler and make it a queen. A skylight and an opening port provide natural light. Press a button and a TV pops down from the headliner. Very jet set.

No Choice. Save for the lack of a galley vent, our only complaint with the Commodore 3880 was the poor placement of the water-separating fuel filters in the engine compartment. Located in the aft outboard corners of the space, they're hemmed in by the genset and motors and are positioned outside the perimeter of the deck cutouts. When you need to change the filers, hire a short, skinny, ambidextrous contortionist for the job. These filters could be relocated to the centerline of the compartment for easier service. Through-hulls, batteries, dipsticks, and other service points were easily accessed.

Regal's Commodore 3880 may not be the biggest sedan on the dock, but it's surely one of the best.
