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 !

Response to Next trip, take a long tow strap with you
Sunday morning the 6th, I left home (Cincinnati, Ohio) to go to the Lake of the Ozarks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_of_the_Ozarks_State_Park.

Paul, do we have any fellow Commanders there?

I started out at 8:30 an in a 2002 1500 Dodge Ram picup towing a small, but empty enclosed trailer.
Five mile from home the water pump gave up in the pick up, in the pouring down rain, so I limped her home and the only other good tow vehicle we have, is a 34 foot motorhome. So hooked up the trailer and again, I'm off on my eight hour road trip (journey)?

I had never been to the Ozarks and did not realize how steep the roads are that lead down to the lake. So as you might imagine, it added to my journey. The good side is, it was hot as h__l and therefore the A/C was handy.

The lake is seventy or eighty miles long, and you would think there is alot of good old Chris Crafts hidden around.

Look at the gravel driveway in the back ground of this picture.
