Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Maxum 2100 SR 2001 vs Maxum 3700 SY 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Maxum 2100 SR 2001 vs Maxum 3700 SY 2008 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 420 hp, the Maxum 3700 SY 2008 has a 200-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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 3 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Maxum 3700 SY 2008 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Maxum 2100 SR 2001 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Maxum 3700 SY 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Maxum 3700 SY 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 37,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Maxum 2100 SR 2001 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
