Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 vs Maxum 3700 SY 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 vs Maxum 3700 SY 2007 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 2007 has a 45-hp advantage over the Maxum 3700 SCY 2006's 375-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
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 3700 SY 2007 caps at 11. 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 3700 SY 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
