422 Commander
I’m considering looking at 1986 422 Commander.
Any owners or former owners have any insight? Mainly in hull construction. Were they built as good as the late 60’s and 70’s?

382 392 422 Commander HullPosted by Charles (Chuck) Groll on October 6, 2014 at 10:08am I understand that the '85-'90 382, 392, & 422 are the Uniflite Hull? Question #1, is that true? Therefore, question #2; are these hulls of solid (not cored) construction?Thank You!I'm seriously considering a 392.
Is the 422 a solid hull (i.e., not cored)? If it is, I would assume the 382 / 392 are also? Thanks - Chuck (Ps. I'm also looking at a 422 but so far, too many dollars.)

Reply by Joe Signorelli on October 14, 2014I presently own a 1985 Chris Craft 422 with 6V92 TA Detroit dieselsI do not believe the 422 Commander Sport Sedan is a uniflite designed hull, although my boat was built at the Swansboro, NC plant after Chris Craft acquired the uniflite plants. The hull is not cored, I have removed the sea cocks for replacement and found the hull bottom to be over 1" thick solid glass mat and resin. I also have not found the hull above the water line to have cored construction. The 422 is a rock solid hull, with large fiberglass rectangle designed stringers running the full length of the hull.
