Members of the Month - the Shanks

 

George and Lynn Shanks live in Huntsville, AL and boat on the Guntersville Lake which is part of the Tennessee River.

 

They own Slowmotion, a 1972, 45 foot Commander. They bought the boat in October 2002 and have done a complete interior restoration.

 

Executive Committte member Marcia Elkins documented their story.


Styled in Fiberglass Spring Edition

The latest edition of the Commander Club's much apreciated 16-page color newletter "Styled in Fiberglass" is now available for free download.

As usual Styled in Fiberglass is packed with facts and entertaining reading. Fellow member Lee Dahlen tells you all about working with 12V electricity onboard and fellow member Mike Schage illustrates how his 35' Sports Express got a new bottom. Also featured is the second part of an extensive interview with Chris Craft designer Fred Hudson, conducted by our resigning PR-chair Whitney Pilsbury. This edition is also Whitney's final SIF masterpiece, at least for some time.


Rendezvous Registration Open

All details for the Rendezvous has no been set and registration is open.

With so many local Commanders and members in the area, this rendez-vous is sure to be one of the best yet. We look forward to seeing new faces and old friends at the event.


 New SuperDisks Now Available!

The very popular SuperDisk covering all aspects of Commander ownership, maintenance and repair is now available in all new updated versions. The disks are based on advise coming from over 40 000 posts made by Commander enthusiast from year 2000 through 2011.

A novelty for this year is that that the content is no more supplied on CD, but on roomier DVDs , or if you wish, on a USB-Flash drive.

And don't forget; if you already own a old SuperDisk you can buy an inexpensive update to get all the new advice from 2011 and the years inbetween.


Marketplace for Used Parts

 

The Executive Committee is proud to reintroduce a marketplace for selling and buying used parts and accessories for Chris Craft Commanders and other general boating equipment that could be of interest to Commander owners. The new marketplace is available at our Yahoo Discussion Forum.

 

Here are some of the highlights:

  • The marketplace is open to all members.
    It is free of charge.

  • You post your ad yourself and you can update it any time you like.

  • You can also post an ad for things you want to buy or even give away.

So why do you check your garage for parts you no longer need and post an ad to get some cash.

Ads for boats for sale remains at here commanderclub.com like it has always been. To post a boat for sale ad send you ad transcript and photos to admin@commanderclub.com

 


Commander Website at Your Service

 

 

This website design was created by none less than your faithful Commander Club Webmaster. How appropriate that I own a 31´Commander named Web Commander! Little did I realize that I would one day be webmaster of the Club when I bought the boat on the net in 1998, but that's another story.

 

Please let me know what you think of the site. Suggestions are highly appreciated! Drop me a mail or call me at Skype ID: alarikvonhofsten

Commander Events

Part of the fun of owning a Commander is to gather with fellow members and enthusiasts. To make it easier to get in contact with others to arrange a raft-up, a meet or an informal flotilla cruise we put together an Events page. It will help you find events coming as well as tell people about your arrangement.
