1998 Maxum 3000 SCR

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide 10’6” beam really opens up the cockpit, giving everyone space to move around without bumping elbows. The helm layout is classic Maxum—clean sightlines, comfortable double-wide seat, and gauges right where you want them. High freeboard and a deep cockpit add a welcome sense of security for kids and guests. Down below, the natural light and generous headroom make it feel more like a small waterfront condo than a typical 30-footer. The mid-cabin is surprisingly private, and the convertible dinette lets you adapt the space for a couple’s weekend or a full family sleepover without feeling cramped.

For the kind of protected waterways and variable conditions common in this region, the 3000 SCR hits a sweet spot. The twin 5.0L power gives you confident handling in tight marinas and enough punch to run comfortably on choppier days, while the express layout keeps everyone together instead of scattered between levels. The swim platform and easy transom access are ideal for sandbar days, dockside evenings, and quick dips at anchor. Below, the full galley and real cabin volume turn unpredictable weather into an excuse for extended weekends aboard, rather than a reason to rush back to shore.
