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 !!

Response to Re: Anyone know if the Hurth or Velvet drive will bolt to the big Ford?
I don't understand why the transmission community didn't design a tranny that could spin the prop one way or the other 40 years ago. Instead, an entire industry of LH and RH motors was allowed to exist. What is odd, Chevrolet, Ford, and Chrysler all followed suit, I guess they liked the business. It is almost like they "created the need". Paragon could have stopped all this by just introducing a transmission that would turn the prop either way equally well. I think it would have been popular with the general public, but the motor manufacturers would have probably boycotted em. One has to wonder WHY it took so many years to develop this "technology". Had they done this years ago, none of us would even know what an opposite rotation camshaft was.
