Overview
The Maxim 2700 Sport Express Cruiser is designed to bridge the gap between performance day boating and comfortable cruising. Its distinctive styling and agile ride make it well-suited for both entertaining and extended outings on the water. With over 100 standard features and more than 30 options, the 2700 SE offers versatility and customization to meet the needs of various boaters.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The 2700 SE features a hull with 16 degrees of dead rise, which contributes to a smooth ride by effectively slicing through waves. Its wide beam and raised foredeck provide ample space for socializing both on deck and below. The bow area includes a large hatch that enhances ventilation and natural light in the cabin. Safety is addressed with a high stainless steel bow rail and molded steps leading through the tinted windshield, which is equipped with a wiper for clear visibility in wet conditions. A remote-controlled combination spotlight and floodlight are mounted on the pulpit alongside an anchor roller and a deep anchor locker. The stern offers two facing bench seats with cup holders and a storage box, while the cockpit floor features a hatch granting access to the engine compartment. The swim platform is accessible via a starboard walkthrough and includes a locker for power hookups and a telescoping swim ladder. Snap-in Berber carpet provides comfort underfoot and can be removed to reveal non-skid surfaces.
Helm and Bridge Features
The helm station is ergonomically arranged for ease of operation and visibility. It includes analog gauges, a digital depth meter, and aircraft-style stainless steel flip switches positioned conveniently to the left of the wheel. Weatherproof breakers are located below the helm. Seating consists of a wide split bench with a flip-up bolster and slide adjustment, allowing the helmsman to find a comfortable position. The companion seat features additional cup holders and a chart storage area. The wet bar adjacent to the helm includes a single faucet, grab rail, and storage beneath, where the battery switch is also located. The forward bench seating can accommodate one person lounging or several passengers riding up front.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the 2700 SE maximizes space with a comfortable V-berth area that includes a padded bench seat, a table, and cabin speakers. Storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout, including three compartments in the floor. The galley is equipped with upper storage cabinets, a microwave, a sink with a pull-out sprayer, and a covered cooktop. Additional storage is available beneath the sink and under the burner area, which contains three pull-out drawers. Access to the stern berth is via a passage adjacent to the cockpit steps, and privacy is maintained with a curtain separating the berth from the main cabin.
Private Accommodations and Head
The stern berth offers a private sleeping area separated from the main cabin by a curtain. The head compartment provides full stand-up height and includes a manual pump-out toilet, a molded vanity with a sink, a pull-out showerhead, and storage beneath the sink, ensuring comfort and convenience for overnight stays.
Power and Performance
Powered by a 350 Magnum MPI engine, the 2700 SE weighs approximately 7,400 pounds and measures 28 feet 1 inch in length, extending to 29 feet 2 inches when fully rigged, with a beam of 9 feet 5 inches. The boat draws just 39 inches of water with the outdrive down, allowing access to shallow areas. During testing in Florida's Intracoastal Waterway, the 2700 SE demonstrated excellent handling and a smooth ride in rough water conditions. It achieved a cruise speed of 24.1 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, consuming 10.2 gallons per hour and providing a range of approximately 189 miles. The top speed reached 38.5 miles per hour at 4,800 RPM, with a fuel burn of 21.1 gallons per hour. The combination of a wider beam and performance hull delivers stability comparable to larger boats without sacrificing speed or agility.
Conclusion
The Maxim 2700 Sport Express Cruiser offers a well-balanced blend of performance, comfort, and spaciousness for boaters transitioning from day boating to cruising. Its thoughtful design features, ample storage, and reliable powertrain make it a capable and enjoyable vessel for both entertaining and extended trips on the water.
