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 !
I was heading out the door to hitch the trailer to the truck, I turned to my wife and said " You OK with me doing this right? and she said " lets go to the computer, let me look at it again". I said "oh crap", I should have used the Jerry method. So we looked at Paul's pictures again and she said "I really think we should get an I/O if we are going to do it, it would have more room inside and we can pull up to a beach easier". So there it is, I was weak, I admit it. If I was a real man I would have gone and got it anyway, but I guess I've been married 33 years for a reason. If I lived near Nashville that boat would be sitting on my property right now because it would have been much easier. I think I was more intrigued by having the project than I was in the end use of the boat. Somebody should grab this one up. I want to say that Paul went beyond nice to make it happen. He was going to help me wrench on the motor the day before he went out of town on Christmas Eve. He made a bunch of phone calls on my behalf. He was dealing with a seller who was not flexible at all. What can you say about that, Thanks Paul! I owe you one.
