Do the outboard engines have the same capability as the inboard systems? I love MJM yachts. I think they are revolutionizing cruising. (i.e., standard Seakeeper stabilizers, etc.)
thanks for the video. How dose the 53z handle bigger seas? I'm in Western Australia and we have a regular 1 to 2 meter seas with 20 knot winds in the afternoon. Would this boat handle these conditions with relative comfort on board?
The 53z and 50z are CE category A certified. This means it’s designed to operate safely in waves over 13’ with winds up to 40 knots. I did a video of running a 50z in heavy weather. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/1awr-7RO4U8/видео.html
Hey Ben, Got a quick question. I noticed towards the end of the video that it appears only the left engine control was forward while cruising at speed. Was that an optical illusion or can you switch to a single control for all the engines somehow?
Thanks for the question! Mercury has a “single lever” mode where you can throttle up on all engines using just one lever. I like using this mode when running because I find I can make tweaks to the rpms more accurately when you just need to adjust one lever.
It's hard to believe, looking at the boat, that it's just as long as a Sea Ray 540 Sundancer. It doesn't look big, which I imagine is why it's a little lower to the water. It looks like a big boat that handles like a smaller boat. I just wonder which is better; the outboards or inboard motors. The outboards probably handle better, but they eat the gas.
Thanks, Chris! Both the 50z and 53z have the same available interior layout options. This particular 53z has the dedicated 2 stateroom layout, which was great for this trip.

@@EastCoastYachtSales Do you offer an optional stepped hull throughout your model line?
@@EastCoastYachtSales Have you tested a boat with Seven Marine 557s or 627s?
Brother Higginbot 3 600 or 650 diesels would haul ass on those waves. Been there!

would like to have seen below deck

What about a 53ft mjm with 3 600hp diesels with pods for props. Bet you that hottie would fly?
Just wait, that’s coming!
@@EastCoastYachtSales From your mouth to God 's ears. I'll sell my soul to get one and live on aboard !
Great video Ben! Is The interior the same as the 50Z? Is there a gyro stabilizer?
