2007 MJM 29z

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how the 29z feels bigger than her length suggests. The wide, secure side decks and deep cockpit coamings make moving around underway feel confident, even with a bit of chop on the beam. The helm layout is classic MJM: clean sightlines, intuitive controls, and a driving position that keeps you connected to the boat and the water. Inside, the cabin is bright and surprisingly open, with clever storage tucked under settees and along the hull sides so overnight gear disappears neatly out of the way. Thoughtful touches—like solid hardware, substantial handholds, and rugged non-skid—remind you this is a boat built for real use, not just dockside admiration.

In these waters, conditions can shift from calm mornings to short, steep afternoon seas, and the 29z is built for exactly that kind of variability. The hull’s fine entry and moderate deadrise soften the ride when the wind comes up, while the lightweight composite construction helps her respond instantly to the throttles and wheel in tight channels or busy harbors. Shallow draft and predictable tracking make exploring coves, inlets, and narrow fairways less stressful, even when currents play tricks. For weekend escapes, the efficient layout means you can cruise longer between fuel stops, yet still tuck into smaller slips or moorings that larger cruisers have to pass by.
