The Maxum 2100SD Sport Deck 2006 is the longer of the two at 21,0 feet overall. The Maxum 2100 SR 2001 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Maxum 2100 SR 2001 vs Maxum 2100SD Sport Deck 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Maxum 2100 SR 2001 vs Maxum 2100SD Sport Deck 2006 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Maxum 2100SD Sport Deck 2006 has a 80-hp advantage over the Maxum 2100 SR 2001's 220-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Maxum 2100SD Sport Deck 2006 carries 55 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Maxum 2100 SR 2001. 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 2100 SR 2001 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Maxum 2100SD Sport Deck 2006 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Maxum 2100 SR 2001 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Maxum 2100 SR 2001 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Maxum 2100SD Sport Deck 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
