Trailer wanted for 27 single engine

Hey all, I'm in Michigan and looking for a half decent trailer to put my 27 on. I want something road worthy but I don't care if it's pretty and I'm not afraid of re-wiring

My 27 single sits on a Venture 2 axle galvanized steel bunk trailer rated at 9200 pounds. Handles the boat easily. They are out there.

These cockpit steps were commonly made by Garelick Eez-in. Checking their current catalog it appears they are discontinued. They still sell the keyhole brackets that attached them to the coaming. West Marine has two different sizes on their website, maybe they still have stock: https://www.westmarine.com/garelick-cockpit-steps-P005_158_002_007.html?srsltid=AfmBOop7Q09LkFtGk1rNlxBv7fQ1MH85_KNFaLisBQt22YKSrLZ9DPK1


MarQuipt has them on their website https://marquipt.com/products/cockpit-steps/

55 or 60ft. Chris Craft Commander wanted

Dear Commander Community,


First, thank you for being the stewards of these fine boats.

We are interested in pursuing the purchase of a 55 or 60ft. Commander.

We would prefer a later production 55 with the enclosed aft deck but would consider all 55 or 60 foot commanders.

We currently own and operate a 1972 Huckins 53 Corinthian which we love but we still lust for the larger Commanders.

Please feel free to text or call us at (616) 914-9303.

Kohler 7.5A23 Generator Manual needed (from 1966 38' Commander)

I need the circuit diagram from the ~1966 service manual for my Kohler Generator. Bottle of scotch for help on this one. I'm trying to upgrade the old controller with a Deep Blue digital controller, but my service tech needs the original circuit diagram. If you have access to a manual I can buy/copy/borrow, please call or text me.

Thanks,

Mike

Looking for Captains chair/ bench 1972 41

I purchased this boat last fall and it has nothing for a captains chair. What would you recommend? Does anyone have anything for sale or know where I could find something?


Thank you,


346 Views

Steven,


This is what was traditionally used if the boat didn't come with the factory seating with storage/bar:



From what I have seen there was always a lanyard fitted to the seat bottom that went down to hook on to a pad eye on the deck to prevent the chair from flopping around.

Chris Craft Hull ID Question

After jumping through hoops with the PA Fish and Boat Commission, I was finally able to get the 360 Commander we purchased titled and registered in PA; to find out they registered it as a 1982 Chris Craft verse a 1983 which was on the previous Title from owner/Michigan; after reaching out to my State Rep and in turn speaking with the PA Fish and Boat; they explained that the Hull ID should be 12 numbers with the last dictating the year of the boat; they further stated they would not change it; before I go back to the notary and take up further issue I wanted to see if anyone had additional information.

Wood Dingy

Long ago, I saw an old Chris Craft ad with an approximately 9 to 10 foot wooden Chris Craft Dingy. Would anyone be aware of where one could find plans to build a similar one?

462 Views

It would need to be kept out of the weather. It is a wee bit tippy. I’ve used it with as much as a 15 hp. It’s very solid and rides great. The plans came from the link below. It’s made from mahogany marine plywood and solid oak. I would say it weighs more than the plans say. Maybe 150 pounds

Cover for the actuator for the windshield ….

This is for an ‘84 410 Starboard windshield actuator. I’m sure it could be many yrs and models.

The cover is very thin plastic(tan in color) and is 5x5x9 w/4 mounting screws

Earl @ Marine sales does NOT have the item.

Some of you may have made one out of wood and I’d like any ideas or drawings you may have for that possibly also.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Wanted: Rudders from a 1970s 47 foot commander.

I am looking for rudders from a 1970s 47 commander. The information I have is that there were three generations of Rudders used on these boats. The first being the smallest, second medium, and the third the largest. I believe mine has the smallest and the performance as well as just looking at it me lead me to believe that it is way too small for this boat.

Glenn,


I have a contact here in Kentucky who might have the rudders you're looking for. Do you have a phone number where he might reach out to you?
