I watch this vid a few times a week - I love this boat. Ive been looking for one but there were only about, what, 80 of the made in '69' and less in '70 or something close to that.
Wow - quite a step up indeed. I hope the new owner of the Commander is happy. Hopefully the boy got to the beach and the girls like the comfort of the 55 footer.
I still look at the Commanders and the XK19 and drool but maybe its better I dont have the darn thing since Id spend way more on fuel than the wife would be happy with.
What an awesome video!!! U should do this for a living!!! (play with cool old Commanders i mean!!) haha!! Golleeeee...that reminds me SOOOOO much of my '68 23' Lancer Sport. I even punched the holes in the transom and put factory exhaust tips cuz i hadta hear THAT sound!! Awesome boat and stellar photography!! Give them young'ins a hug from old Uncle Scott :^)
Beautiful boat, that is one sweet Chris Craft! Lot's of luck with it. Check out the maritime museum's website, they are in Newport News VA...they own the Chris Craft archive.
I have been looking [obsessing] lately at the Chris Craft fiberglass boats of the late 60's and 70's. You have an absolute gem there. The styling and appearance is wicked. Forgive the comparison, but it looks like an '69 Chevelle on water. Love it! Tell me more.
My God that motor sounds so good! (O_O)
