CHRIS CRAFT COMMANDER FORUM ® .......A photo-intensive technical reference file and ongoing newsletter regarding the original fiberglass Chris-Craft Commander series. This is an independent not-for-profit and non-commercial web site, not affiliated with the Chris Craft Commander Club ~~ or ~~ Chris-Craft Corporation. Our mission here is to "have fun and share information" about the Commander series (and those associated fiberglass boats on the Chris-Craft family tree) for your individual personal use, and by doing so help promote the good name of Chris-Craft, and help preserve, restore, and appreciate Chris-Craft boats. The main reference feature is the ever expanding MASTER INDEX File which contains what we believe to be the world's largest collection of documentation photos and technical information on the Chris-Craft Commander line of boats, (like these original brochure scans, featuring the iconic first 38 Commander styled by Fred Hudson, and many of the great Dick Avery renditions that followed) , (a huge collection of Chris-Craft 427 tuning and specification information), and a few words about how to use the forum.

We extend to you a cordial "WELCOME ABOARD !" Come on in, make yourself at home, we are a friendly group of enthusiasts, and we also appreciate the classic Chris Craft Roamer, Corsair, and Lancer boats too , as they are all on the same family tree and share much in common !

Dan Green Machine Shop (Thanks Dan and Brian!) PHOTOS

Response to Machine shop just called, shafts are done !!

Dan Green Machine Shop here in Nashville, telephone number (615) 297-1932 did the work at a fair price and a day ahead of schedule! They took the time to be extra sure the hubs would fit over the ends of the shafts once they were installed through the hull too, which is VERY important (Todd Heinrich is getting a lot of milage out of his comment to be sure about this, thanks Todd). These people are also VERY easy and good to work with, and I recommend them to anyone needing machine work done.


here's a photo of Brian (left) and Dan Green (right, and owner of the shop), both kind enough to allow me to take these photos for the forum.


These next two photos are doing a final polish on the ends, to be sure they fit the hubs properly. Ends were slightly tapered with a file, everything was checked very carefully. I'm hoping for a good and long lasting installation.




Yes, I now have 4 Commander prop shafts in a small sports car! The two old ones, one of which the shop used for measurements, the other old one came out last night as a non-critical-path move, and of course the two new ones! One of the hubs was milled down on the facing and dressed up, because it looked like someone had taken a hammer to it in the past. This should keep me off the streets for another couple days! Hoping for an optimistic week-end launch.



Regards, Paul
