CHRIS CRAFT COMMANDER FORUM ® .......A photo-intensive technical reference file and ongoing newsletter regarding the original fiberglass Chris Craft Commander. Our mission at this independent not-for-profit non-commercial web site is to "have fun and share information" for your individual personal use. Our main reference feature is the ever expanding MASTER INDEX Files which contain exhaustive photo and technical information on the Chris Craft Commander line (like these original brochure scans, featuring the iconic 38 Commander designed by Fred Hudson) , (an awesome collection of Chris Craft 427 tuning and specification information), and a few words about how to use the information in the forum, etc. Be sure to look at the information about the 2009 Lake Erie Chris Craft Commander / Roamer Rendezvous, second year in a row at Huron, Ohio, held in August of 2009 !! If you're a Commander fan, this will be an event you won't want to miss next time around.

We extend to you a cordial "WELCOME ABOARD !"

Response to Warren Pateman's total restoration of BAMBI (photos)
Here are more photos of the project, and even more photos and much more extensive information can be found on Warrens' web site, http://www.pateman.com.au Be sure to visit this site because the Photos there are spectacular, and I appreciate being able to show off a few of them here. In addition, there is another site featuring Warren's BAMBI, and it can be found here http://chriscraft.com.au/

Here's the boat Warren bought, note the "aftermarket aft cabin" that has been installed on this early and rare 1965 38' Commander Sport Fisnerman.


Does this look familiar? Well it looks a lot like the Chris Craft factory, see the original construction photo attached below.







Another view of that beautiful hull.
