General Notes

Note

Freshly restored and only a few hours of run time! Only 115 23' Commanders were built by Chris Craft between 1968 and 1969 and this an early one bearing hull #5. Chris Craft's very earliest venture into the world of sport fiberglass. This example has been comprehensively restored. Hull repairs included replacement of shaft log, replacement of engine beds, gas tank removed/steam cleaned and reinstalled, new custom color matched trailer, new gel coat on bottom matched to original, new wiring harness, new fuse panel, new dash/gauges, new prop, new packing in stuffing boxes, new cutlass bearing, new transom, new mahogany swim platform, new floor, new upholstery using original style and color vinyl, all original script and badges. Brand new 327cid Chevrolet engine built and transmission rebuilt. This 23' Commander is exceptionally clean and needs nothing. Full custom cockpit cover included. Ready to enjoy and take to the show!
