Here is a beautiful 1968 Chris-Craft 31' Commander: 

 This classic Chris-Craft is a head-turner that blends timeless style with modern conveniences. One of the rare Flybridge models. It is an ideal vessel for a discerning boater who wants a well-preserved piece of maritime history which is also move-in-ready for comfortable cruising. The swift and controllable twin gas inboard straight shaft with Marine Power 350 block engines approximately 300HP each are paired with Velvet Drive transmissions. The engines have been well-loved and maintained. Only REC-90 ethanol free and VP brand gas are used in the fuel system. Recent exhaust manifold and riser replacement with new fresh water flush integration. The vessel is a super sturdy fiberglass hull, constructed heavily in the early days of fiberglass technology by Chris-Craft, known for their solid construction. A reliable “Bulletproof” performance design that can take you anywhere. A fully enclosed and solid cockpit wall protects the cabin from the elements with sleeping accommodations for 4 guests. New Salon/Galley and V-berth Smart TVs provide a modern comfort. All features are in excellent working order, with maintenance records available. The gelcoat is original with some small and minor repair spots blended nicely as would be expected at this age. Significant interior upgrades have been intelligently refit including a headliner, LED lighting, 12vDC fans and courtesy cabin lights, new cushions, and window covers. Timeless nautical wood tones, varnished panels, and trim accents add to its classic appeal. The vessel features updated navigation and safety electronics which include 2 Garmin GPS/Sonar MFDs, and Icom VHF radio. Very cold A/C in the cabin with a newer air conditioning unit providing above average quality climate control. The galley has been updated with a microwave, refrigerator/freezer, and pressurized hot and cold fresh water service at the sinks and for the shower. The electric head was recently rebuilt and restored to full function. Marine 30A 120VAC and supplemental 15-20A for two galvanically isolated circuits of dockside power. Recent DC electrical AGM House battery with charger addition for balanced consumption and parallel safety of the dual start circuits. Now there are 3-Group 31 Batteries instead of the 2 original sources. The vessel includes a Sunbrella custom cover bow to stern. There are too many thoughtful and preservative improvements to list. The bottom has been recently painted, and new zincs are routinely swapped with scheduled dive maintenance. A pure gem. Total replacement value is estimated at more than $750K by today’s market comparison. Own and enjoy this beautiful and manageable Chris-Craft Sportfishing style boat for $45,000.00 USD.
