Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 vs Maxum 4200 SY 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 vs Maxum 4200 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 Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 carries a rated maximum of 375 hp. Engine data for the Maxum 4200 SY 2007 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Maxum 4200 SY 2007 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Maxum 4200 SY 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Maxum 4200 SY 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 42,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Maxum 3700 SCY 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
