MJM 4
Boating|May 2023
The MJM 4 checks a lot of boxes, combining performance with solid construction, multiple gathering areas and a sleeping cabin. Twin Mercury Verado 600 hp V-12s add excitement.

MJM 4

From above, the MJM 4 looks like an oversize bowrider with a contoured hardtop powered by up to 1,200 hp of twin or triple outboards. Convenient cockpit access is through a starboard-side gunwale door or the swim platform. The main deck layout is ideal for temperate climates because the open cockpit lounge connects to the hardtop-covered salon, then back outside to the bow lounge.

The bow lounge offers an open sunning area and a great place to ride with the wind in your hair. Behind the windshield under the hardtop, windows and hatches in the salon/ helm can open to the breeze, or seal them for climate control when using the optional reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning ($26,767). The L-shaped aft cockpit lounge features a removable teak table for alfresco dining, which easily covers with a stout Bimini with strut-shaped tensioning turnbuckles that allow its use while running.

What the gull's-eye view doesn't show is that the MJM 4 offers belowdecks amenities. In the cabin, we found a flat-screen TV and a forward lounge/berth. Another double berth tucked under the salon floor includes a fan and a convenient cubby with phone-charging plugs. There are opening hatches for ventilation and good-looking cherry-paneled storage. A Tecma freshwater flush electric head and separate shower compartment complete these accommodations.

FLIPPING THE SWITCH
Boating

FLIPPING THE SWITCH

Much reporting focuses on reasons why one might choose electric marine power. The issues of range, speed, noise levels, winterizing and ethanol challenges, lake restrictions, environmental concerns and more all must be resolved on an individual basis. Little gets said about how a boater choosing to repower with electric actually gets that accomplished. Is it DIY? And if not, how does it get done?

STICKING POINTS - Anchoring alternatives, and why you will always need a traditional anchor.

My brother-in-law likes to fish offshore reefs, and the process once entailed navigating to a mark, dropping a float, and idling upwind or up-current to drop the anchor in hopes the set would drop us back to the float.
