Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Maxum 2100SC Sport Boat 2005 or the Maxum 2400 SR3 2008?

For trailering, the Maxum 2400 SR3 2008 has the edge at 437 lbs dry weight versus 3 568 lbs for the Maxum 2100SC Sport Boat 2005.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Maxum 2100SC Sport Boat 2005 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Maxum 2400 SR3 2008 is certified for 7.

Both the Maxum 2100SC Sport Boat 2005 and Maxum 2400 SR3 2008 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: How do the fuel tanks compare on the Maxum 2100SC Sport Boat 2005 and Maxum 2400 SR3 2008?

Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 5 gallons and 7 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.

Yes — both the Maxum 2100SC Sport Boat 2005 and the Maxum 2400 SR3 2008 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.
