The MJM 3z – Big Water Capable, Big Fun Guaranteed. Bring on the Weekend

Dec 9, 2021

Designed in a modern Carolina Downeast style, the MJM 3z is a luxury performance, all-weather, dual console day-yacht. The 3z includes the protection of a pilot house, the most usable space in class, and delivers the swift, soft ride of an advanced Doug Zurn hull design. The digital fly-by-wire technology of the 3z’s twin Mercury Verados delivers quiet running with joystick piloting, Skyhook station keeping, low maintenance costs, easy pre-flight checks, and all the fun of shallow water capability.

Family and friends will love her three distinct social areas, including the enclosed HVAC controlled pilothouse where you can escape sudden inclement weather while enjoying 360-degree views. This protection also allows you to get out on the water sooner in the season and stay out later in the year. Revel in the close connection to the water that is the MJM 3z experience.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
