Rather than mess with twofootitis, we are upsizing for the next decade. The Maxum 4100 SCR is on the short list. Any comments good, bad, or indifferent would be welcome. I'm 6'4" and the Admiral is 6'. Is it tall enough? Is the forward berth big enough? Our current Regal 2465 has a for real queen size berth in the mid cabin and it works just fine. We'll use her for weekend jaunts and the occasional 4 day trip as well as the the boat is cheaper than a DUI condo after club functions.
 
i had a 3700 for 6 years (98 model with gas), it was great boat. never had to call the dealer or maxum for any non engine related issue.

i'm jsut under 6" and headroom wasn't an issue, the forward berth was big enough... the lay out was really good, both cabin and cockpit, and it's a real boat. you know... side decks, flat foredeck... construction was excellent, see www.yachtsurvey.com for the review on the 46, different boat but same construction.

if you're going to use the boat, the 41 needs diesels... Teh gas ER is spacious to do all your maintenance comfortably...

you may also want to look at the 4100SCB, the flybridge model...

one thing i liked on the 37 (and i think the 41) was the open cabin. A forward partition and door is good if you have guests overnight but for just a couple and kids, the accordeon partition works great as you enjoy a much bigger cabin during the day.

Hello fellow Regal 2465-er. Have you considered the Meridian line? I saw them at the Portland Boat show and was very impressed with the price and layout. Excellent head room. Even better, the galley, living area is top side, which allows you to take in the waterfront views, leaving the cave for sleeping.
In addition, you get a flybridge.

David - I noticed you were planning to come up this way last weekend. Did you find anything at the dealer in MD?
 
Same as Pascal...sold ours (3700scr) only because there are not facilities to handle that size of boat, where we'll now be boating for the next few years...

Not one bad thing to say, but on a 41, yes Diesel... We had horizon mags, 380hp and they were thirsty, plenty of power for a 37. (830hours)

the layout rocks, access is tops, and we used it with three kids...two teens in back state room, 9yo daughter on settee...

the 41 with hardtop, is in my mind for our next boat, when we get back to the lake, or elsewhere in a few years.
