Maxum US Sports Cruiser for survey

I had this Maxum American Sports Cruiser to take a look at today.



KAD44 Volvo 250HP diesel gives 30mph plus.  



Damaged paint surfaces to stern drives should be sanded down to bare metal and touched up with a suitable primer and top coat, this will help prevent corrosion. I recommend that all sacrificial anodes are checked regularly, failure to do so may cause serious corrosion problems. 

Maxum come from the same stable as Bayliner. They are good boats considering they are built so quickly on a production line. The 2700 is a classic 4 berth american sports boat, 4 good berths with a V in the front which also serves as your dining area and a mid berth under the cockpit separated usually by a curtain.

Maxum tend to use high gloss wood compared to the Bayliner, and are generally considered to be slightly higher quality, but this only really applies to the interiors, and now Bayliner have upped their game, they are pretty much on a par.

With the 2700 there are a few things which are a must. The Radar arch is an option (the big GRP hoop above the cockipt) but the boat looks so much better with one, plus it means the covers work much better when it's rough.

In general, good starter cruisers.
