Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Maxum 2400 SC3 2009 vs Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Maxum 2400 SC3 2009 vs Maxum 3700 SCY 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 375 hp for the Maxum 2400 SC3 2009 and 375 hp for the Maxum 3700 SCY 2006. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Maxum 2400 SC3 2009 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 42,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Maxum 2400 SC3 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
