Boattest.com Review
Overview
In the summer of 2007, BowTest.com and its test captain evaluated the new 2900 SE Sport Cruiser from Maxim. The manufacturer aimed to enhance this model with upgraded technology, contemporary styling, and a higher quality of finish. This review explores how successfully these objectives were met.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
The cockpit comfortably accommodated five people, facilitated by the repositioning of the dual passenger seat, a feature Maxim refers to as active seating. A cherry wood table is included, which can be folded or completely removed to optimize space. The optional electric grill and refrigerator, while somewhat compact, are functional for entertaining purposes. At the stern, the boat features a generously sized swim platform with a teak-like finish. The three-position stern seat converts into a sun pad and is notably sturdy, enhancing both comfort and utility.
Helm and Bridge
The helm's design evokes the aesthetics and feel of a sports car, providing an engaging and ergonomic experience for the operator. Gauge visibility is excellent from the seated position, contributing to ease of navigation and control.
Interior Living Spaces
Inside the cabin, modern styling creates a space that feels both light and functional. The fit and finish are of high quality, with no defects observed during inspection. The galley is equipped with solid surface countertops, a stainless steel sink, and upgraded fixtures and hardware, reflecting attention to detail and durability. The salon includes a lounger accompanied by a small oval table, which offers additional room when working in the galley area.
Private Accommodations
The forward berth is designed to accommodate two people overnight, providing a cozy environment. However, it may feel somewhat confined for extended journeys. Storage options could be improved, particularly for personal items such as cell phones, towels, and food.
Conclusion
Overall, Maxim has successfully achieved its goals with the 2900 SE Sport Cruiser. The quality of fit and finish is noticeably enhanced, and the styling and general appearance rival boats costing significantly more. The topside space is well designed, comfortably accommodating six or seven guests for day outings. While storage solutions could be more practical, the boat presents a compelling package in terms of design, comfort, and functionality.
