1997 Maxum 3200 SCR

Step aboard and you’ll notice how broad the beam feels for a 32-footer, giving you a cockpit that can actually host a crowd without everyone bumping knees. The molded steps to the foredeck make quick work of line handling and anchoring, even for short-handed crews. Underway, the hull carries a confident, planted feel at cruising speed, and the helm layout keeps sightlines clean whether you’re threading a busy fairway or running after sunset. Below, the mid-cabin isn’t just a token berth; it’s a genuinely private space for another couple, with enough elbow room to change comfortably. For a boat of this vintage, the overall volume and practical layout punch above its length.

In these waters, conditions can change quickly from flat calm to choppy, and the 3200 SCR’s deep, predictable ride makes weekend hops more comfortable for everyone aboard. The generous cockpit space works well for raft-ups, sandbar days, and casual harbor cruising, while the wide swim platform makes dinghy access and water sports simple. Overnighting is easy thanks to real separation between sleeping areas, so friends or family can join longer trips without feeling cramped. With its manageable size and forgiving handling, this model suits skippers stepping up from smaller runabouts, yet still has enough space and amenities to serve as a floating cottage for extended stays on the hook.
