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 !

Moderate weather in Tennessee ( time for some work and some play too )

Saturday morning, in the sixties, headed out for the Commander. Went aboard for a few hours, tending to various things, had a snack or two, ran the motors, at least we were aboard A COMMANDER ! It was very tempting to take it out for a run, however today I was on a mission. Here is TRADITION as she sat at the docks motors running, sounding awesome as usual.

So later in the morning it was time for Paul to dig some cedar trees. Have any of you guys ever dug a tree before? This is work. They don't come with a root ball in burlap, you have to PUT them in one, ha. Since it was raining on and off, this was a perfect day to do this as the roots would not dry out quickly. As you can see, we have two cedar trees taken from our farm with the roots wrapped in plastic, ready for transport to our lake house on Old Hickory Lake.

And a short time later both trees were tightly wrapped for the trip.

By 7:30 that eve one tree was in and I was having a beer. Then another beer. And the second tree went in before 9:00. All in a day's work.

Regards,

Paul
