The MJM 34z is a classic that delivers a dry, responsive, and sporty ride-without sacrificing comfort. Designed by Doug Zurn and built by Boston BoatWorks, this elegant pocket cruiser was the vision of Bob Johnstone, co-founder of J Boats, and his wife Mary. Their goal: to create a fast, fuel-efficient, and stylish Downeast cruiser with the quality and handling serious boaters appreciate.
The pilothouse offers comfortable seating for six and can be fully opened on all sides, thanks to roll-up side and aft enclosures and opening front windows. The result is an open, breezy space perfect for enjoying the outdoors while staying protected from the elements.
Kevlar-Epoxy Construction 34z is ISO (CE) Certified and may be theonly design of its type to exceed international CE Mark (ISO) draft structural requirements for a Class A Ocean-Going Yacht. MJM’s licensed builder, Boston BoatWorks, has more than 25 years experience in building boats using a high-tech, wet pre-preg, vacuumbagged and post-oven-cured, epoxy/Kevlar/E-glass/Corecell construction method. 34z isbuilt tough, more like an airplane or America’s Cup racing contender than a traditional motorboat. Her solid FRP keel and chines are so dense, they are like steel. The boat’s high strength-to-weight ratio results in lower overall weight, easier handling, superior fuel efficiency and better speed. - From the Manufacturer
