J Boats’ Bob Johnstone rolls out the MJM 35z

Aug 23, 2017

Hull #1 ZINNIA, the all-new, twin outboard MJM 35z left Boston BoatWorks on July 5 for Newport and a weekend of 19 introductory customer sea trials plus another dozen dealer and boating magazine editor reviews.

Recently, John Armstrong of Canadian Yachting magazine traveled to Maine to sea trial the exciting new MJM 35z.

MJM Yachts was founded in 2002 by Bob Johnstone, who also co-founded J Boats, Inc., the world’s leading brand of performance sailboats (14,000 worldwide). Asked why the move to power, Bob, who is 83, replied, “Seems my wife and I had gotten older and our boats had to reverse roles. I’ll always enjoy a daysail on the latest J. But our quality cruising time is now on a motorboat.”

This was the concept behind the development of their line of power yachts; we talked with Bob Johnstone on video about his latest model.
