Question: is maxum a quality boat?
Answer: Maxum is a good boat, and in my opinion better than its reputation. If you like the Maxum, I wouldn't hesitate. Incidentally, not sure if its within your range but, if you can, take a look at the 2700 model from 2001 to 2006. It is a 28 foot boat with a 10 foot beam, which makes it far more spacious its competitors.
