The MJM 47R is a 46'8" Carolina‑Downeast pilothouse cruiser purpose‑built for luxury getaways and long‑range comfort whether adventuring in the Great Lakes or even tackling The Great Loop. Its vacuum‑infused, post‑cured epoxy composite build underpins a quiet, efficient ride, while the indoor/outdoor pilothouse brings all‑weather versatility with an electric opening windshield, sliding side windows, and an aft enclosure. A galley‑up layout keeps the entertainment on deck, and the resort-like interior below offers a large head with separate shower, a queen-sized berth plus a queen berth amidships, and expansive hull windows for natural light. A thoughtful aesthetic adds to the feeling of luxury on board and makes weekend trips feel effortless. The design, which emphasizes stability, allows the 47R get on plane comfortably in the 12-15 knot range.
MJM buyers will like the choice of power, which includes either twin Mercury V12 600‑hp outboards (standard) or twin Volvo D6‑440 DPI diesels. The 47R can be pushed to a top-end speed of 55+ mph when equipped with the 600s, plus owner‑operator ease from joystick docking (Mercury Skyhook® or Volvo DPS), bow thruster, and an available Seakeeper 6. Practical cruising features include a 475-gallon fuel capacity on the outboard version (350 gallons with diesel), 110‑gal water, multi‑zone A/C, and an 11 kW genset (OB), while a hullside boarding door, transom entry, and a shallow draft make beach days and docking at marinas simple. With its opening side windows, U‑shaped dining lounge, and refined fit-and-finish, the 47R blends speed, range, and true comfort in a package that is easy to run and easy to love.
