Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Maxum 3100 SE 2008 vs Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Maxum 3100 SE 2008 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.
The Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 tops out at 375 hp. Engine specs for the Maxum 3100 SE 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
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 3100 SE 2008 caps at 9. 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 3100 SE 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
