 This always fresh water boat was re-powered in 1991. The original 427’s were replaced with new 454’s, shafts, transmissions, and props. Regular maintenance by previous owner and I have provided a little less than 1100 hours of virtually trouble free operation – and many more to go.  Regular maintenance performed, and always synthetic oil.  60’s vintage Onan generator was added by the previous owner and was rebuilt by Onan prior to being installed. Newer TrueCharge 20+ battery charger, newer Bennett Trim Tab pump and Automatic Trim Tab option, new potable water pump, and newer batteries.

 In 2004 all new carpet (back deck and entire cabin area) was installed, all new oatmeal colored canvas (back sheet, hard top triangles, windshield cover, front hatch cover, spotlight cover, front pennant flag cover) was made, and new fridge installed.

 In 2006 some chrome work (air scoops, and bow plate), new 26” Chris Craft name plates, new back deck and cabin stairs (hand made mahogany matching the originals), and gelcoat refurbishing (wet sand, polish, and wax). While not currently installed, I have the original military mast (removed by previous owner when the cabin headliner was replaced), most of the optional shower components, and an original 1968 Commander sales brochure in mint condition.

 Last year, both paragon transmissions were pulled out of the boat, and were completely rebuilt by Federal Marine (one had a minor leak, the other had a failing hydraulic pump), a very well respected service center for Paragon, Velvet Drive, and Hurth transmissions.  They have less than 3 hours on them and are in “as new” condition.

 I really hate to sell the boat, but the purchase of a 1967 42 Commander was too good to pass up.
