Roomy cruiser that sleeps 6 with 11 foot beam! Great weekend boat!

The Maxum 3300 SE is a borderline "sport cruiser" with power enough to get up over 40 mph and cruise efficiently at around 25 to 30, with what has been described by reviewers as "sprightly" handling.

Typical of Maxum was their efficient use of space in their layouts, these boats are known for feeling big for their size, and the 3300 SE ("SCR" prior to 2003) is a good example, with plenty of cockpit seating as well as at the helm, including back to back cockpit/helm passenger seats that fold down flat and expand into a sun lounger.

For long season boaters the camper back full enclosure can take the chill off, and for party boaters, plans need not be changed due to weather because ten folks can still hang out above the cabin even on a rainy day with room for another half dozen or more below.

Speaking of down below, with a queen berth forward, a convertible dinette and convertible settee aft, six can sleep in climate controlled comfort, take care of themselves in the large wet head with vanity sink, pull-out hand shower and vacu-flush toilet, and feed themselves from the galley featuring two burner stove, microwave, sink and under-counter refrigerator with freezer.

Finally, another Maxum quality was their elegance, meaning simplicity, of design. Nothing exotic, proven technologies, sensible sourcing of components, easy to maintain by any skilled in the art, but wrapped into an overall package that seemed very upscale and modern for the price at the time.

So, whether the mission is taking a bunch of folks to a more distant destination made shorter by speed, or spending a weekend or week with the family exploring, this is a boat that offers among the best three qualities a boat can have... versatility, simplicity and reliability.
