The MJM 47X is a 46'8" open‑bow, outboard‑powered day yacht that scales MJMs Carolina‑Downeast design into a bigger, faster, and more social platform. A protected indoor/outdoor pilothouse with opening glass door connects a galley‑up helm area to a flush, single‑level deck and four distinct entertainment zones. The 47X provides the perfect weekend experience with immaculate accommodations below deck (large V‑berth forward plus a double cabin amidships). Power comes from twin Mercury V12 Verado 600‑hp outboards for serious acceleration and a listed top speed around 53 knots, while MJMs epoxy‑infused C5 composite build underpins the smooth, efficient ride.
MJM buyers will love how the 47X makes boating days flow effortlessly. Joystick docking with Skyhook reduces stress in tight marinas. There is a side boarding door that is flush deck improving safety and accessibility; the plush helm sofa and versatile seating turn the pilothouse into an all‑weather lounge area and below you get a yacht‑sized head with enclosed shower to refresh after lengthy trips. Practical range comes from a 475‑gal fuel capacity, and you can get the optionsal Seakeeper6 Gyro to knock down roll at anchor or underway. The 47X is a fast, easy‑to‑own MJM that mixes sandbar‑friendly open‑bow fun with true cruising comfort through the Great Lakes.
