Overview

GOOMBAY will be on display and ready to sell at the 2026 Newport International Boat Show, September 17–20, in the Brokerage Basin.

Engineered like a race boat and built for your comfort, GOOMBAY is prepared to hand over the helm—and the ultimate bragging rights—to her next discerning owner. As a pinnacle among high‑performance cruisers, this MJM 43z brings grand‑prix racing engineering to a versatile express cruiser.

That distinction is precisely what sets GOOMBAY apart. A coveted 2018 model designed by Doug Zurn and built by Boston BoatWorks, she delivers an extraordinary synthesis of strength, speed, and craftsmanship that knowledgeable yachtsmen immediately recognize.

Her layout is thoughtful and inviting, featuring a main helm station with a passenger helm chair, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, one cabin with an island queen berth, and one head with a separate shower area. The dining area converts to a double berth, complemented by a down galley, and she sleeps four. A custom glass aft enclosure, factory‑installed by Boston BoatWorks for weather protection and a quieter helm experience, is only one of its kind with this extensive upgrade. Dual‑zone climate control includes a supplemental air‑conditioning unit in the pilothouse to keep you cool in hot summers, especially welcome in southern climates. Seakeeper 6 stabilization provides solid stability to eliminate boat roll underway and while relaxing at anchor, and commercial‑grade Starlink with a one‑year subscription is included.

Performance and practicality are equally compelling. A trailerable design with a legal road beam permits land transport for seasonal storage, easy relocation, and access to new cruising grounds. Triple Mercury 350 Verado outboards deliver high‑speed performance, smooth acceleration, and effortless handling. She rises onto plane quickly, cruises at higher top speeds, and burns far less fuel, while a shock‑absorbing hull design cushions wave impacts to ensure a quiet, vibration‑free ride for you and your guests. Unbeatable durability comes from advanced high‑tech composite hull construction that ensures lasting structural integrity and preserves high resale value.

Rounding out her allure is exceptional provenance: originally built and owned by a BBW board member, she later passed the torch to a World Champion sailor and distinguished yacht connoisseur.

Hull construction

Built around a modified deep-V hull for an exceptionally smooth ride both inshore and offshore, Boston BoatWorks elevated the MJM 43z by adapting advanced aerospace and racing sailboat composite methods to a powerboat design. Rather than relying on heavy fiberglass and raw horsepower, this precision engineering delivers an exceptionally rigid yet lightweight structure built for long-term structural resilience.

At its heart is a vacuum-baked epoxy laminate, stronger than standard fiberglass, forming an exceptionally tough, watertight shell that prevents hull blistering and protects your investment for decades. Strategic Kevlar reinforcement in high-impact areas serves as armor, keeping the boat safe and solid even in heavy seas without making it heavy or sluggish. A shock-absorbing Corecell core—specialized closed-cell foam along the hull bottom—cushions the blow when cutting through rough chop, protecting both the hull and your passengers from harsh pounding. Finally, aerospace post-curing, in which the hull is baked in specialized ovens, renders the structure ultra-rigid yet remarkably light, allowing you to cruise faster and burn significantly less fuel than heavy competing cruisers.

Mechanical and electrical equipment

Power and control come from triple Mercury Verado 350 HP outboards showing eight hundred sixty-five hours, directed by the Mercury JPO joystick with Skyhook and complemented by Autotrim and trim tabs for confident handling. A Westerbeke 6 kW gasoline generator supplies onboard power, while a Seakeeper 6 gyro stabilizer and a Sidepower bow thruster elevate comfort and maneuverability. Climate control is assured by reverse-cycle heating and air conditioning, featuring a two-zone 32,000 BTU system for the cabin plus an additional one-zone 16,000 BTU supplementary pilothouse unit, an upgrade completed in 2023. Fuel and electrical reliability are enhanced by Racor fuel filters—three serving the engines and one for the generator—Mercury 125-amp alternators, and a 110v AC Victron Energy shore power system paired with a Glendinning 75' 50-amp electric retractable shore power cord. Underwater protection benefits from the Hull Shield four-transducer ultrasonic anti-fouling system. The AGM battery suite comprises a two-battery house bank, three engine starting batteries, and one genset starting battery, managed by Blue Seas battery combiner/switches. Additional shipboard amenities include a 13-gallon freshwater heater, three Jabsco automatic bilge pumps, and a custom backlit panel with 12v DC and 110v breakers. Practical details such as compartment lights for all system and machinery spaces, a bonded electrical system and fittings, serviceable and numbered wiring, and LED lighting throughout underscore the yacht’s thoughtful engineering.

Electronics and Entertainment

Stay connected and entertained with commercial-grade Starlink, including a one-year subscription, complemented by a comprehensive suite of Simrad multifunction displays integrating chartplotter, radar, and GPS at both the helm and the companion seat. For propulsion intelligence and precise control, a Mercury outboard multifunction display pairs with a Mercury VesselView multi-function display featuring Joystick Piloting and Skyhook, while an OmniSense night vision camera system upgrade sharpens awareness after dark. A Fusion stereo system with speakers throughout fills every space with immersive sound, and the saloon features one drop-down TV, with one wall-mounted TV in the galley and one wall-mounted TV in the stateroom. Rounding out the package, a Ghost security system offers added protection and requires subscription and activation.

Deck and exterior

An upgraded custom hardback glass enclosure, designed and installed at BBW in 2023, is a standout feature, while the upgraded custom-painted gray hull with an orange sheer stripe turns heads. The forward pilothouse windows are powered and fitted with windshield wipers and a freshwater rinse, and the exterior decks on the port, starboard, and foredeck are finished in Awlgrip nonskid. The large cockpit invites relaxation with fixed and movable seating around a teak-trimmed dining table, all under a cockpit bimini and set atop Esthec composite decking. Thoughtful amenities include a sliding companionway door with lock, two boarding gates, port and starboard, a freshwater shower, and Lewmar overhead hatches with shades and screens. A powered engine room hatch provides access to the below-deck mechanical and electrical systems. Confident movement around the vessel is assured by stainless steel bow rails that enable a full walkaround and stainless steel hardtop safety rails that are ideal for kayak or paddleboard storage. At the bow, a Muir anchor windlass manages a self-launching stainless-steel anchor, with cockpit and deck controls and a freshwater washdown for effortless anchoring.

Interior - lower deck

In the lower deck galley, a stainless steel sink with a retractable faucet is paired with a dedicated freshwater filtration system at the sink, while a microwave and a Vitrifrigo under-counter refrigerator and freezer system manage culinary needs with ease. Storage is intelligently arranged with three under-counter drawers and one cabinet, complemented by two counter-level sliding storage cabinets and two overhead cabinets. Opposite, a convertible dining settee seats four and transforms into a double berth complete with a privacy curtain, served by an electric hi/low dining table for effortless adjustment. Entertainment is provided by a flat-screen TV, and fresh air and light pour in through opening portlights and an overhead hatch.

Owner's stateroom

An island queen berth takes center stage, framed by flanking settees that invite relaxed lounging and easy movement around the bed. Overhead open shelving to port and starboard keeps essentials neatly stowed, while a hanging locker to port offers dedicated wardrobe space. Thoughtful storage continues with drawers beneath the berth to starboard, complemented by a flat-screen TV to starboard for private entertainment. Opening portlights and an overhead hatch usher in natural light and fresh air, enhancing the stateroom’s calm, airy ambiance.

Head

Thoughtfully appointed for comfort and convenience, the head features a Dometic electric freshwater toilet paired with a sink and freshwater faucet, all supported by a holding tank monitor for effortless oversight. A separate shower stall ensures privacy and ease, while clever organization comes by way of under-counter storage, counter-level sliding storage, and over-counter open shelving. Abundant natural light and ventilation flow through the opening portlights, creating a bright, refreshing space.
