MJM 40z - A True Passagemaker
As Easy to Operate as a 30 Footer
Click to Play Video
This new Doug Zurn design is the easiest to handle and most fuel-efficient passagemaker of its size. Boarding through side-opening doors onto the same level as floating docks or a dinghy, couldn’t be easier. For all-weather versatility, the pilothouse features roll-up curtains, fully-opening windshields and air conditioning. The spacious, two-cabin layout below and comfortable on-deck seating compare favorable to much larger yachts.

Computerized Joystick Control
The magic of the 40z single joystick control for low-speed maneuvering amazes the best of professional captains. Twin 370-HP diesel sterndrives are independently operated by computer for direction, forward-reverse gear and rpm. Sterndrives have 3 bid advantages: They kick-up on impact… or for clearing of props… and for shoal draft operation.
Single-level seating for as many as 15!

Industry Experts Agree: The 40z offers boating enthusiasts a unique alternative in the New England style, which is one good way to attract a fairly large and loyal following.
Check out the latest review of the MJM 40z from Yachting Magazine: "Johnstone conceived the 40z as the biggest yacht a couple—husband and wife, in this case—could easily handle at sea, around the marina, and at the anchorage. So easy, in fact, that neither one should have to devote more than a single thought to any of the procedures. He'd also considered the burden of ownership and maintenance. For example, you won't find any varnished wood decorating the exterior. Some folks who spend the winter in warmer climates than those found in the Northeast, Midwest, or even the Northwest, prefer not to take their boats south under their own power. The 40z's beam of 12 feet reduces the expense of shipping overland. "It's ideal for dual residence," Johnstone said." Read More
"Bob Johnstone teamed up with the right builder in Boston BoatWorks. It’s the strongest construction for the weight I’ve yet seen, based as it is on Lindsay’s experience building high-end racing sailboats, ves- sels that are subjected to far higher stresses than the typical powerboat ever is. These are marvelous works of art, the real deal in terms of construction methods and materials." - Read More

The luxuriously comfortable MJM 40z is designed to be faster, lighter, and stronger than most boats in it's class - Read the full review in the April 2010 issue of Passage Maker Magazine
Unsurpassed Fuel Efficiency
Your fuel bill will be halved thanks to very strong but light, pre-preg epoxy/Kevlar/Eglasss/Corecell construction. The 40z provides 21 gallons per hour at 25 knots, or 1.2 nautical miles per gallon with optional twin 370 hp Volvo D6 diesels and IPS DuoProp 500 drives. By way of comparison: Power & Motor Yacht Magazine boat tests show the Sea Ray Sundancer 40 consumes 29 gph (.86 nmpg) at that speed, while a Cabo 40 or East Bay 45 consumes 37 gph (.68 nmpg). At $3/gal, that’s $1,110 on a 10-hour trip instead of the 40z's $630. Close to home, you’ll average 4-6 gallons per hour on fill-up… just $15 per hour of general use. That's quite remarkable for a powerboat of this size. The 40z carries 350 US Gallons of fuel.
Unique in All the Right Ways
- -Side-opening doors (P&S) overcome a common problem, getting aboard or getting off when handling docklines.
- Single-level seating for as many as 15 at cocktail time or for a family picnic.

- Large (60x78) island berth and separate shower in owner stateroom.
- Two convertible guest cabins, one with dinette option.
- 40z can be trucked overland without penalty. Width doesn’t exceed 12 feet and height on a trailer is less than 13.5 feet.

40z Reviews
- Maine Boats, Homes, and Harbors
"Jaguar, the famous maker of British sporting sedans, built its cars to display “grace, space and pace.” After that memorable winter boat ride in Boston Harbor, I’d wager that if Jaguar built yachts, they’d come out like the 40z."
- Yacht Magazine - MJM 40z Review
"Response to steering input is immediate and accurate, and maneuvering in close quarters is as free of drama as you can get. The IPS joystick control is idiot- proof. To further reduce the pains of docking or anchoring, the spring cleat on the starboard side is within easy reach of the helm, so one can lasso the cleat on the float without leaving the house. Want to anchor? Pushing a button at the helm deploys the ground tackle without any other human intervention."
