Joy! is a perfect example of a classic Down East Styled dayboat/ weekender and needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. In a day when boats seem to be getting more complicated with folding this and that electronically controlled gizmos, Joy! stands out for her elegant simplicity, outstanding build quality, and lovely design. Designed by Doug Zurn with the concept developed and nurtured by Bob Johnstone, co-founder of J-Boats and founder of MJM, the MJM 34Z was the first MJM model and started a remarkable string of boats. The ride of the boat in a seaway is truly remarkable. The 34z's unique opening front pilothouse windows hinge up for an outstanding open- air feel. The pilothouse isinglass side curtains roll-up to fully open the boat on a beautiful day or close her off from the elements when the weather turns.
Joy! was purchased after an extensive and careful search by her current owner. The current owner is a very knowledgeable boatsman who was in the boat equipment business for many years. His business allowed him inside access to many boat manufacturers and MJM was always special to him due to the quality of design and construction.
The current owner has a thorough maintenance program of washing, waxing, and cleaning the bottom.
"JOY!" is nicely equipped and detailed.
