MJM Yachts 43z

MJM has picked up on the fast growth of the outboard market and launches the MJM 43z powered by triple 350-hp Mercury Verados. It combines the comforts of an all-weather offshore express cruiser with the many advantages of outboard power: sporty handling, low maintenance, higher speeds, and shoal draft.

Compared to the popular MJM 40z (with IPS power), the 43z goes nine miles per hour faster (53 mph) and draws 13.5 inches less with outboards up (26 inches). Joystick piloting and Skyhook station-keeping are nice bonuses.

The bridge deck can utilize climate control or fill with fresh air by opening the windshield, windows, and hatches. Below deck, the cabin, designed in classic Herreshoff style, has an island berth and full galley.
