Chris Craft Commander

Many people, especially among the men, dream of having their own boats. There`s blissful freedom in being able to sail and travel through water. Many have succumbed to this lifestyle and spend the rest of their lives on a boat. The possible adventures are just too tempting to resist.

Some of the best boats you will find in a marina are Chris Craft boats. Chris Craft has been around for more than a century. The company was founded by an aptly named Christopher Columbus Smith back in the 19th century. Some of the favorite boats produced by this company are the Chris Craft Commanders.

The Chris Craft Commander Boat first appeared in the boating scene in 1964. There was some drama in its launch at the New York Boat Show. Designed, built, and shipped to the boat show in secret, the first fiberglass Chris Craft Commander instantly became a hit. The Classic Chris Craft Commanders soon established its reputation for being stylish, fast, and durable.

These vintage Chris Craft Commanders are rock solid. Their hulls are some of the best and strongest that ever grazed this planet`s waters. So popular were the boats that the Chris Craft Commander series extended well into the `80s. Nowadays, the old Chris Craft Commanders are some of the favorite boats to restore.
