Hello all and thanks for your input

I am looking at purchasing a 1999 Maxxum Marine Boat. It is 22 ft aluminum hull. It is a center console configuration with a 350 chev and hamilton 212 pump. 7 ft floor 8 1/2 ft beam. Tandem axle galvanized trailer marine radio fish finder 8hp kicker
manual downriggers

Sounds like a 20k boat to me which i can buy for 12k

what are your thoughts?

Do a test drive, if that checks out, then get a survey.

Didn't know Maxum made aluminum boats. Are you sure?

Welcome to iboats!:cool:

The boat you describe doesn't seem to exist. Maxum Marine only made fiberglass boats in 1999, and no 22' boats either.:confused:

No way a 22' aluminum boat from 1999 is worth $20K.

Maxxum Marine appears to be a dealership, not a boat brand.

What are we missing?

Please provide a link, photos, HIN ?

Are we talking about some type of shallow water tough as nails river boat of some kind?

A Duckworth aluminum jet ?

A ThunderJet?

A North River Commander?

Now these boats could very well be worth $20g, as some of them are $50,000 new.



More info please.

Yes we are talking about a boat similar to a duck worth or a North river but probably closer to an alumaweld super vee center console

Maxxum in Eugene Oregon produced customs until 2005. They did not really have production boats available as the were usually 8 months behind. However they saw the writing on the wall in05 with to many boat builders and the crash and stopped building.

This is the type of boat made to run rivers like the snake, cowlitz columbia etc etc
