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 !

      Back home, on the driveway

      Here are some fun photos of the day, and a video I shot on my driveway. You guys remember me telling you I live on a long steep driveway? Well here is the proof! Nothing climbs the hill quite like a 351 4WD full size Bronco. I did it twice with a Volvo XC90 AWD but I was really afraid that on the third time I would have blown transmission or something all over the driveway.

      Here is a photo showing the Skiff on the trailer with tow vehicle. This photo was taken at Cedar Creek a year ago.

      Another shot of the tow vehicle, taken a year ago.

      Funny how vehicles have a history, this white Bronco belonged to Lyle Lovett's drummer, who lived in Phoenix for a while, and spent a ton of money (by looking at receipts) changing the oil.

      Here we are July of 2009 on the return trip from Cheatham Lake, Cumberland River, heading back up to our ridgetop home. Don't try this in icy weather going in either direction!!


      Regards,

      Paul
