Maxum 3300 SE 2007 vs Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Maxum 3300 SE 2007 or the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005?

For trailering, the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 has the edge at 178 lbs dry weight versus 1 125 lbs for the Maxum 3300 SE 2007.

The Maxum 3300 SE 2007 has a documented max rating of 320 hp. Engine specifications for the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Maxum 3300 SE 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 is certified for 12. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?

The Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 measures 156" wide, compared to 137" for the Maxum 3300 SE 2007. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

The Maxum 3300 SE 2007 has the bigger tank at 179 gallons, versus 3 gallons on the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005. That 176-gallon difference translates to roughly 528–880 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Maxum 3300 SE 2007 and Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Maxum 3300 SE 2007 and the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 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.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Maxum 3300 SE 2007 vs Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Maxum 3300 SE 2007 vs Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 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 3300 SE 2007 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Maxum 3300 SE 2007 carries 179 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005. 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 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Maxum 3300 SE 2007 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Maxum 3700SY Sport Yacht 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Maxum 3300 SE 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
