Attractive fabrics, pleated window treatments and contemporary interior hardware and fixtures add to the upscale atmosphere. Maxum is a division of Brunswick Corporation, which is a formidable force in recreational boating. The 4600 Limited Edition's design was drafted on a computer at Maxum's product design and development facility in Arlington, Washington. After successful prototyping, the project was transferred to Maxum's Salisbury, Maryland, production facility, where all Maxums longer than 41 feet are built. The hand laid hull laminate is composed of woven and stitched fiberglass reinforcement, polyester resin and a vinylester skin coat to minimize the chance of blistering.
Stringers are fiberglass-encapsulated wood, and plywood bulkheads are glassed to the hull.
Numerically controlled routers are used to cut structural bulkheads, non-structural partitions and joinery. Fiberglass soles and liners form the interior. Access to the engineroom is via a saloon hatch and stainless-steel ladder. Exterior cockpit access would also be preferred on a boat this size, allowing service when the owner is not on board and eliminating the risk of trashing the interior when major work is needed. There is good access to the inboard side of the engines, and separate hatches provide access to the expansion tanks.
