38' Commander

Comments:

38' Commanders came in hard top and flybridge versions. The 38´Sedan is built on the same hull.

The 38' Commander was the first model in the Commander fiberglass series introduced at the New York Boat Show -64.

The 38' Commander design was changed in 1971 when the cabin was extended all the way to the sheer line, see photos below.
