The team at US Marine tells us their goal with the 2900 SE and all new models is an upgrade in the use of technology, new styling, and a higher quality of finish. This new model from Maxum is the first new model to have the Axius system. The cockpit's Active Seating includes twin rotating forward seats and a three-position convertible rear seat. The cabin is accented by designer Sunbrella interior fabrics, three levels of solid-surface countertops and an art-deco inspired cluster of port lights on the starboard side.
