Timeless: The MJM 50z

  • By Chris Caswell
  • Updated: June 21, 2016

MJM 50z, Downeast

The MJM 50z is a thought-provoking yacht with some impressive firsts. It comes from the first builder in the world to make a Seakeeper gyrostabilizer standard. It’s also the first U.S. production powerboat with high-tech epoxy and composite construction. It has a single-level deck spanning nearly half the yacht’s length, plus speed (33 knots) with fuel economy (around 1 nmpg at 25 knots). It not only meets but exceeds the Category A Ocean requirements, the highest seaworthiness rating from the International Marine Certification Institute. Designed for owner-operators who like to cruise, the 50z has two staterooms, two heads and an all-weather cockpit. She is a yacht that puts fun and family at the forefront.

Stable as a Table

The MJM 50z is the first production yacht in the world to offer the Seakeeper gyrostabilizer standard. The Seakeeper not only minimizes rolling by day, it also makes for better sleeping at night. A bonus is improved fuel efficiency because the gyro keeps drag-inducing chines out of the water. Rather than taking up valuable engine-room space, the gyro on the MJM 50z is in the all-purpose utility room, along with a washer and dryer.

Built Like a Boeing

After Doug Zurn penned the yacht’s lines, the MJM team went to Boston BoatWorks, which creates offshore racing sailboats as well as America’s Cup yachts and high-performance catamarans. The essence of the 50z’s build was similar to what those yachts require: light weight with superior strength.

“It amazes me,” says MJM founder Bob Johnstone, “that no major production powerboat brand has picked up on epoxy composite construction for better handling, performance, fuel efficiency, seaworthiness and longevity.” The basic construction of the MJM 50z is the same as the technique used for the Boeing Dreamliner 787.

The lamination is E-glass, Kevlar and Core-Cell, utilizing a prepreg process with epoxy resin; it’s then vacuum-bagged and post-cured in an oven. This creates a stronger yacht with less drag, a lower center of gravity and better horsepower-to-weight ratios. Some 50-footers tip the scale at more than 50,000 pounds, while the 50z has a half-load displacement of 32,850 pounds. This type of result is why Ford put an aluminum body on the top-selling vehicle in America, its F-150 truck: better payload, fuel efficiency and longevity.

“The basic construction technique on the MJM 50z is the same one used for the Boeing Dreamliner 787.”

About the “z”

While seeking a designer in 2002, Johnstone brainstormed with his son, Peter. “I asked, ‘If looks are the No. 1 priority, which powerboat designer has the best eye for drawing a pretty boat and pulling this off?’ We both simultaneously answered Doug Zurn, based on the Shelter Island 38 for singer Billy Joel. I called Doug, and, after a month and 14 exchanges of drawings and sketches back and forth, we arrived at a unique signature look needed for a U.S. design patent.”

Zurn created the lines of the MJM 50z to be ageless and classic. She looks, as a recent boat-show visitor noted, “as though she was launched at a Maine boatyard 50 years ago, yet she is advanced beyond most of the latest yachts.”

MJM 50z, Downeast

For Short-Handing

The MJM 50z is designed to be handled by a couple. A single-level deck runs from helm to stern. More important, it includes port and starboard boarding doors at the height of floating docks, allowing crew to step off to handle lines without climbing over the side deck and gunwale. Add the nimble handling of the Volvo Penta pod drives with joystick (including dynamic position system hovering) and you get no-sweat, close-quarters maneuvering.

Another benefit of the single-level deck is that the salon is just two steps down, rather than the traditional four or more, and kids can be seen no matter where they are in the cockpit.

Open or Closed?

The MJM 50z’s bridge deck can be enclosed with Strataglass for a finished appearance, so the sides and aft door can be left open on nice days. Three forward windshields open electrically, turning the 50z into a big runabout. The yacht can be buttoned up with air conditioning on warm days or heating to stretch the season.

Power to the People

While the first MJM 34z had a single diesel with bow and stern thrusters to ease maneuverability, the 50z comes standard with a pair of 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS600 diesels with pod drives, giving her a top speed of more than 33 knots and a comfortable cruise of 28 to 30 knots. Want more oomph? She can be fitted with triple 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS600s, pushing the top speed to more than 40 knots with a 35- to 38-knot cruise.

Interesting fact: The twin-engine 50z, when dropped back to trawler speed of 7 to 8 knots, burns just 2.5 gph, offering a 1,400-nautical-mile range with a 10 percent reserve. That’s enough to cruise from North Carolina to Bermuda and back.

MJM 50z, Downeast

Stowage Galore

Stowage is always a challenge, but, being sailors, the Johnstones worked to create stowage that can only be called “crazy good.” Start with the utility room under the cockpit, which easily handles separate washer and dryer, plus the Seakeeper, plus enough life jackets for everyone aboard. The cockpit settees hide lockers deep and large enough to handle full-size bicycles, golf clubs and inflatable dinghies. Under the cabin sole are four stowage areas with organizer plastic bins to handle dry stores, airline bags, drinks and tools.

The J Factor

Johnstone founded J/Boats in 1977 with his designer-brother, Rod. It remains the leading builder of performance sailboats in the world, with more than 12,000 sailing in sizes from 22 to 40 feet. More than 5,500 of its J/24s have been built, and they have been sailed by people in 30 countries. The Johnstones’ goals of seaworthiness, performance and ease of handling now carry over into MJM Yachts.

The success of J/Boats has even been taught at Harvard Business School as a case study. To date, 17 J/Boat designs have been awarded either Boat of the Year or American Sailboat Hall of Fame honors. Many of the boats racing at major race weeks in America are J/Boats.

The Johnstones had discussed creating a J/Boats powerboat since they both owned small powerboats, but they deferred to working on new J sailboat development. The turning point was when Bob Johnstone’s son, Peter, had success with his Gunboat catamarans. At the same time, Bob had transferred his Southeast J/Boat dealership to Teddy Turner Jr., so Bob had time on his hands. The result was the first MJM 34z.

Power-Cruising  Club

Bob and Cathy Hesse switched from sailboats to powerboats with an MJM 40Z.

Yachting: Why did you make the switch? Bob Besse: I just got burned out and wanted something different. Plus, this boat only clears 8 feet, so you don’t have to wait for too many bridges. As a sailor, that’s something I really appreciate! Y: Where do you keep the boat? BH: We keep it in Key West in the winter. Next, we’re taking it to the Bahamas, and then we’re putting it on the trailer and driving it up to Lake Ontario. Y: What other features do you like about it? BH: It’s a pretty open layout, so it doesn’t feel like I’m driving the boat in my living room. I didn’t want that. I was a competitive sailor for 15 years, so I like feeling connected to my environment.

MJM 50z, Downeast

Two, Four or More

The layout of the MJM 50z is as innovative as the rest of the yacht, starting with a master stateroom forward with desk, easy chair and en suite head with glass-enclosed shower. Note that the memory-foam berth is wider than a king berth. The salon has a settee that converts to a nearly queen-size berth and has a curtain for privacy, with access to the day-head and its stall shower with glass door. An interesting option eliminates the need to choose between an open layout and two fixed staterooms, with removable, stowable bulkhead panels that can be set up in a few minutes (they lock into place) to create an enclosed “instant” guest stateroom with its own door. Add a second door to the day-head, and owners have an en suite stateroom for guests.

A permanent second stateroom can also be built in this area.

Need more accommodations space? The 50z doesn’t try to fit a claustrophobic cabin under the cockpit. Instead, the pilothouse can be converted with privacy screens into an air-conditioned and heated stateroom, with either a nearly queen-size berth or a generous single.

What Does MJM Mean?

MJM President Bob Johnstone and his wife, Mary, had enjoyed racing and cruising sailboats for decades. In the mid-1990s, Bob presented Mary with a 29-foot Dyer powerboat as a 40th anniversary present. They used the Dyer to extend their boating season in Maine and explore Boothbay Harbor’s coves and rivers. While still building high-performance sailboats, Bob and Mary came to enjoy the powerboat lifestyle, and he started thinking about building powerboats with the sensibilities of a sailor.

The result in 2002 was a 34-footer that they called “Mary Johnstone’s Motorboat.” Thus the company name: MJM.

MJM Yachts 50z: Timeless Design

The MJM 50z is an eco-smart game-changer featuring advanced composite construction, an innovative layout and the latest stabilizing technology. Her stronger, lightweight epoxy construction results in a very low vertical center of gravity. That translates into greater stability, ISO-certified Category A seaworthiness, and an impressively comfortable ride. MJM 50z was the first motor yacht worldwide to offer the “no roll” Seakeeper Gyrostabilizer as standard equipment. Adding further to comfort and livability: Her flush-deck layout from cockpit to helm combined with side boarding doors at floating dock height eliminates the many up-downs and boarding access challenges of other yachts.

You want to look at your boat with pride and know you own a work of art. A boat that draws compliments on entering the harbor—not a “here today and gone tomorrow” styling. That’s why Doug Zurn was chosen as the designer. He has the best eye in the business and created the Shelter Island 38 for singer Billy Joel. A U.S. design patent protects that unique MJM signature look. There are other important benefits of the 50z’s sleek profile: Lower bridge clearance, greater stability for seaworthiness, faster hose-down after use, less windage and easier trucking overland.

mjm yachts 50z

Manufacturer Provided Description

Seakeeper Gyro-Stabilizer is Standard Equipment

Without steadying sails, all powerboats roll...the MJM's less than most due to their low center of gravity. But, the single biggest opportunity for improving comfort afloat on a powerboat is to eliminate rolling. The 50z is the first yacht to offer this leading edge technology as standard equipment. Introduced 5 years ago, over 1,500 Seakeeper units are now in use worldwide, mostly on large custom motoryachts. The Seakeeper resists rather than reacts to the tendency of a boat to roll as it is spinning at 8,000 RPM to create it's stabilizing inertia. The vessel just doesn't roll and seems very solid without any herky-jerky motion.

Extraordinary Fuel Efficiency and Safety

50z fuel efficiency is 0.9 nm/pg at 25 knots. How? The 50z is built lighter and stronger in the USA of pre-preg epoxy, Kevlar, E-Glass and Corecell to exceed ISO Category A Ocean requirements ... the highest reating for seaworthiness issued by IMCI, the International Marine Certification Institute in Brussels. And, its sleek profile and low center of gravity make it more safe, seaworthy and fun to drive.

Easy-to-Operate by Couples

Large boats can be intimidating to operate. But, you can park a 50z solo, thanks to 360° visibility, joystick docking and a single level deck from the wheel aft to cockpit side-opening doors onto a floating dock.

Day-time Privacy for Friends & Family

The MJM 50z offers the best of both worlds: entertaining space for family picnics or cocktail parties on a single level deck. Plus, hospitable 24/7 staterooms for live-aboard cruising comfort-- not just sleeping cabins belowdecks.

The 50z master cabin includes a desk/dressing table plus easy chair next to a large hull opening port for fresh air and view of the harbor… to read, write, chat on the phone or just have one’s own space.

MJM 50z Accommodations Versatility

Exploring the versatility of the second master suite and third cabin on the MJM Yachts 50z.  

Click Here to Watch the Video | Video Length 1:46

The MJM Yachts 50z is an innovative luxury cruising yacht. Her beauty and lines come from a modern take on the classic Downey’s design, along with her liveaboard comfort, one of her most distinguishing features is the versatility of her layout.

Her standard layout offers the luxury of daytime privacy in three main areas. The HVAC control bridge deck with privacy curtains, the great cabin below, and her master suite. This layout can comfortably overnight seven with two forward, three on the bridge deck and with a quick conversion of the great cabin with its innovative affordable bulkhead system two more in a second master suite.

If desired, she can be configured with a second permanent stateroom while still maintaining the living space of the great cabin, accommodating eight for overnighting. Her versatility continues with a convertible bunk version of the second stateroom, enabling you to overnight nine or to stow the top bunk when not in use.

Each version of the second stateroom is available ensuite for the convenience and privacy of your guests. The great cabin is configured in a dinette layout that still allows you to convert and sleep two.

With power opening front windows, roll up or sliding glass sides, a flush deck from the transom to destroyer wheel and a bright spacious below decks, the MJM 50z delivers a level of liveaboard and cruising comfort second to none.
