Vessel Details

Construction

   "The MJM Yachts 29z (LOA 32.4') is built without compromise and is the only boat in its class specifically designed to maximize fuel efficiency, with a leading edge, high-tech epoxy wet pre-preg Kevlar/E-glass/Corecell composite laminate, vacuum-bagged and oven-post-cured. This is a building method perfected over 25 years by Boston BoatWorks in building custom racing yachts, including America's Cup contenders where cost was no object... winning was everything. It's more costly, but of significantly higher quality. 29z is stronger and lighter than other boats built with conventional fiberglass or SCRIMP construction, primarily because epoxy has 3x the flexural strength of polyester or vinylester resins. Furthermore, 29z is certified by the International Standards Bureau in Brussels, Belgium as a CE Mark Category B Offshore Power Yacht." MJM 29z Brochure

Mechanical

   The 29z is the most fuel efficient 29-footer on the market. Apart from hi-tech construction and good design, a major factor is the Volvo Duo prop (counter rotating props on the same shaft) sterndrive. It is also ideal for shoal water operation; is less subject to damage hitting floating objects; and makes it easier to clear a fouled propeller. Simply hinge the drive up, kneel on the swim platform and reach down to untangle the props. No swimming necessary.

Interior
