3100 SE: Largest Maxum Sport Cruiser


The 3100 SE is the largest boat in the Maxum Sport Cruiser series and the second largest boat in the builder’s whole line. Maxum is a Brunswick-owned builder and
is generally considered to be a step-up boat from the Bayliner brand. The 3100 SE
is designed to be a versatile express cruiser suitable for day cruising and water
sports, as well as being able to be used as a weekender for a couple or small family.
A bimini and cruising canvas comes standard on this model which lengthens this boat’s
season, something we like.

The buff black hull sides, teak treatment on the swim platform and modern Italian
transom design,


help set the Maxum 3100 SE apart.

The Maxum 3100 SE is in step with the industry’s current trend to maximize the utility
of express cruisers for day cruising and entertaining. To that end the builder has
opened up the boat below for maximum seating. Instead of bulkheads which close off
the forward and mid cabins, the builder uses curtains that can be opened to make the space look as large and open as possible, and, of course, the curtains can be
closed for privacy.

The cockpit has been designed for all sorts of entertaining. The sun pad fill
cushion seen here can be replaced with a table


or you can leave this space open. Note grill to starboard.

 

On Deck



On deck there is a wrap around lounge seat to port with a removable table. This
seat structure
provides standing headroom below in the mid cabin at the foot of
the double berth – something that is difficult to engineer on a 31-footer.



The boat has a 10’7” beam and weighs 12,800 lbs. She comes standard with a 5.0 L
engine and Bravo III drives (dual, counter-rotating props).



In looking over the boat’s list of standard equipment a number of items caught our
eye. The hull and deck have a 5-year transferable warranty. The hull’s skin coat
is vinylester, which is an impermeable barrier to water migration, meaning you will not have to worry about blisters on the bottom.



On the bridge we like the mahogany treatment on the steering wheel and on the dash
panel. The aluminum windshield frame is anodized and two pantograph windshield wipers
are standard.

Looking forward note the teak and holly cabin sole, sockets for table pedestals,
and open feeling of the 31’ boat.


Features Below



Below, you’ll find a standard teak sole, a slide-out wine bottle drawer and reading
lights in both the forward and mid cabins. There is a 6-gallon hot water heater
which should be adequate for careful sea showers.
