2005 MJM 34z Downeast

Kittery, Maine

$335,000

CHESSIE is a very nice example of the popular MJM 34z Downeast, with the desirable hardtop, that has been used lightly in Maine summers and stored and serviced inside every winter.  The 34z was designed by Doug Zurn to be the perfect size for a family or couple to enjoy on a daily basis as well as coastal cruising for a couple.  The pilothouse comfortably seats six and can be enclosed completely or opened up to enjoy a nice day on the water.  Down below, a simple, open interior provides a U-shaped seating area with table that converts to a large double berth, an enclosed head and small galley – everything needed for a day or weekend on the water.  Her high quality construction by Boston Boatworks and rugged design by Doug Zurn provides comfort and safety in offshore conditions as well as excellent fuel efficiency underway.  Currently stored inside getting her annual service done with winter storage paid.
