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 !

Or...lack there of. I finally found some time last evening to clean out the boat. Removed a van load of shi....crap out of her. List of Questionable items:

1) approx. 13 spark plug wires
2) coil
3) rotor
4) pieces/parts of a 2 barrel carburetor( there is one still attached and complete tho)
5) rusty socket set(incomplete)
6) pair of 15lb. barbell weights attached to random lengths of ski rope
7) Auxiliary gas tank
9) box of flares and distress flag
10) pair of oars
11) pair of battery cable ends
12) fishing pole, net and bait bucket
13) plastic bumper insert from a Chevy Avalanche
14) plastic automotive cooling system surge tank
15) pair of fishing boat seats on custom built OSB pedestals
16) a couple buckets of leaves, twigs, spiders and other UN-nautical items

There are several items that when considered together might indicate some sort of mechanical malfunction. However, the interior is now clear so I can strip the carpet and rotten decking out. First I will break out some soap and water wash the neglect off of her.

Yours Truly, Christian B. Wade

PS. did anybody call about the 23' Commander if Ft. Myers???????
