Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 vs Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 or the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005?

For trailering, the Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 has the edge at 3 483 lbs dry weight versus 4 292 lbs for the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.

Q: What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

The Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 has a documented max rating of 300 hp. Engine specifications for the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 is certified for 7. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?

The Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 measures 102" wide, compared to 99" for the Maxum 2100 SC3 2008. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 or the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005?

The Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 has the bigger tank at 76 gallons, versus 55 gallons on the Maxum 2100 SC3 2008. That 21-gallon difference translates to roughly 63–105 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 and Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 and the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 are built by Maxum. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 vs Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 vs Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

The Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 carries a rated maximum of 300 hp. Engine data for the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 carries 76 gallons versus 55 gallons in the Maxum 2100 SC3 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Maxum 2400SD Sport Deck 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Maxum 2100 SC3 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
