Trying to post Mark and Tammy Phillips Tablerock Mo. Oh Baby! Photo of the Day Award ! Featuring a noteworthy photograph sent in by Chris Craft Commander Forum, Inc., participants, showing off a Commander, a restoration in progress, or Commander people having fun! Here is the photo (below) and a few words that were published when the photo was featured on Thanksgiving, November 26, 2009. "Here is Mark Phillips 1970 38 Commander. These later series Commanders are quite interesting because this is the late evolution of the original fiberglass Commander. Fred Hudson designed the first 38 Commander in 1964 along with Bill MacKerer, and in later years Dick Avery, who took over the job as Chief Stylist at Chris Craft, had the duty of modernizing the 38 to keep it competitive in the marketplace. This boat is the result of the modernization the Chris Craft board thought was needed. Every inch of the topsides is different, but the wetted area of the hull is the same. The interior is larger because the sides of the cabin were pushed out to the edge of the boat on the port and starboard side. The cabin roof took on the similar shape of the Avery designed 35 Commander of 1968. The frontal swoop of the cabin looks similar to the 35 but where the 35 has a built in seat, the 38 has a very modernistic windshield. These are fairly rare boats, only 22 were built in the Express configuration, and 49 as a Sedan. We have had three featured here in the pages of The Forum over the years and were thrilled to get a look at this one."      This message has been edited by FEfinaticP on Nov 27, 2009 3:53 AM     Respond to this message    Responses Hey got the photos !
