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 !

Fun on the farm today, hauling firewood, but we were on the boat too!

It was 18 degrees here in Nashville last night, so we got our Starbucks and headed down to the marina to check temps. All was well and we decided to hang out for about an hour. At least I was on a Commander today!

The photo above was taken on October of 2007 but that's what I was doing today. I have a lot of wood down from early this year, due to tree trimming of about 1500 feet of electrical line, and today I ran 4 tractor loads and stacked them up to dry, for use later this season. I can assure you, this is a LOT more work than sitting on a couch watching football, lol.

The wood is dry as a bone, but needs to be stacked under cover and left to air dry a couple weeks to dry enough for burning. I'll probably tap into this stock late in the season or early in the spring as I pull from the really dry stuff I have stockpiled. It's free heat, all it takes is WORK.

From the top of the Highland Rim, near Nashville!

Regards, Paul
