There's a spot to store a cooler beneath the seating, and our test boat had an optional ice maker. A transom door leads to the integral platform, where a swim ladder is fitted. A compartment in the transom accommodates shorepower service receptacles and a freshwater shower. There is also space to stow lines and fenders. The 3500's raised helm area has adjustable bench seating with an optional hydraulic actuator that I found more cute than necessary.
Guests can sit or recline on the adjacent companion seating.
Instrument and electronics space is plentiful, and the molded-in dash is finished with simulated wood trim. Our test boat had Maxum's premium navigation package, including a 48-mile radar, a GPS plotter, a digital depth sounder, an autopilot and a VHF radio. Machinery space is accessible through a hatch in the cockpit area. I highly recommend the optional hydraulic hatch lift for carefree engineroom access. The machinery compartment extends from the aft accommodation bulkhead to the transom.
