2000 Maxum 2800 SCR - Maxum Boat Owners Club

Carolina Dreaming · 02-01-2010, 09:18 PM

I bought a 2000 Maxum 2800SCR Sport Cruiser in March of 2009. I keep it at Lake Murray in Columbia, SC. We have had a lot of fun with the boat so far. I just wanted to post a note to anyone out there that has the same boat and let them know I am willing to share information about the boat and our experiences.

Good day,

I also bought a 2001 MAxum 2900 SCR in August 2009. So far, I am very pleased with the boat. I live in Canada and our boating season is unfortunately quite short.... I was wondering if any of you had installed a small flat screen/dvd combo in your boat. Do you have an optimal setup in mind? What about installing one outside as well? Any thoughts?

Thank you and have a great season!

Simon,

I actually removed the TV. The way I see it I bought the boat to spend more time with my wife and kids and TV's are always a distraction. Its funny but we just talk more now. :-) The only thing I'm looking at doing is upgrading the stereo and when I did some looking, someone made the suggestion of integrating an iPad. Interesting idea and I'm going to look into it a bit more.

Simon, this is the next major upgrade for my Bella Sera. I am replacing the the entire dvd/vhs 9" tube TV above the Range/oven and planning on replacing it with a 20" LCD/DVD Combo unit and a cock pit radar wing mounted 20" (that will be fed from the Cabin unit) and make it easiliy removable with quick disconnect cables and sea worthy receptacle with rain cover. I am also going to intergrate the sound through the ten speaker Bose with 12" sub to get the most from the sound.

Should be stylin after this latest plan. I will document it with pics for those interested to take a look at her after I breath on the A/V in the next comming weeks.

Same here (though I don't have kids). I used to hike, backpack, fish, ride dirtbikes, snow ski, ice climb (and a bit of moutaineering), backcountry canoe-camp. All without my wife. I would be out of the for the entire day either Sat. or Sunday and frequently head out on Friday night to return on Sunday night. Before I bought a boat I was going to get a street bike, until the wife pointed out that it was another expense that only I would enjoy and give me another reason to be gone for the weekend.

so, I bought a boat that we could both enjoy spending our money and time on together. I wanted a tv, she didn't. Instead we play cards and talk, along with a lot of drinking

. We never had a marriage problem, but had no idea how much closer this time together would bring us. After a couple of years, we find ourselves turning off the TV at home more and playing cards and talking and doing projects together. It turns out a boat is the best marriage counselling going (and the most expensive).

Turn off the TV and spend time with your family!!!!

PS- Yes the signature (below) is just a joke I like and not a paradox to my statement above.

I'm in the hunt for a 27-30 cruiser and strongly considering the Maxum 2800 (also looking at Regal, Searay and others). Any comments, good or bad on the Maxum? I am on the west coast of FL and will be making some runs to the Keys. Also, I've decided on the single, merc bravo III for fuel efficiency and to keep the maintenance down.

Any comments appreciated.

seapuppy · 01-17-2012, 02:03 PM

nope...sounds like a good choice for a boat too me!!!.

definitely get the maxum.......nice boats....will take way more water than you can....

mguthrie · 01-26-2012, 02:38 PM

I'm looking for an SCR 2800, anyone know of one for sale? Any comments about single v twin? I'm leaning single, my friends think I'm crazy.

seapuppy · 01-26-2012, 04:29 PM

I had the 2700SCR ...2003 model yr....6.2lter b3 drive engine...that thing would take us anywhere..it was solid...great seakeeper....all around great boat...just a bit smallish for me...however ...if you make sure it's maintained and tuned properly...it will take you anyplace...I'd look for a single engine but definitely go with a b3 drive...so much better ...

I could turn the boat in it's length with a b3 drive.....couldn't do that with my 2455 bayliner alpha 1 drive.....
