Up for sale is a very sorted out 1967 Chris Craft Commander 38. This was the first year that Chris Craft built them in solid fiberglass but it still has that old wood boat look. It has twin Perkins 6.354 diesels that run like a dream. The boat cruises at 10knt with a top speed somewhere in the 14knt area. Best of all it runs at just 5gph at cruise. I keep the 2-100 gal tanks full and its always a pleasant surprise when I get my fuel bill....Could do a bit better on top speed with trim tabs but currently we don't have them. This would make an ideal dive charter boat (easy to profit when it costs a $20 to go diving), with a few very easy and inexpensive modifications, although i would hate to see all we have done torn out. Also have a prime slip in the St Pete Municipal Marina that we can transfer. One of the best spots in the marina. Current wait list is 6-9 months This boat has been extensively remodeled and updated and is a basically a turn key boat: 1967 Chris Craft Commander 38 1st year of fiberglass commander Twin Perkins 6.354 natural Diesels 200 gal fuel 100 gal water King front birth Full bath with shower Updated throughout Ready to cruise condition with all lines, fenders, chart plotter, radio, anchor etc. Runs 100%…5gph at cruise 2013: New top of the line bottom paint.

New starboard transmission installed New starboard starter installed New VHF antenna New gauges installed at lower and upper station Even thought thats a comprehensive list, there may be some things that the new owner may feel still need attention as you would expect from an antique boat. I would call the boat 80-90% done as far as a remodel / refit is concerned. That said, there is no reason it could not offer the new owner a turn key hands off opportunity if you are not like me...i like everything perfect and as such i never stop working on my projects...and boats are always that. I you have any specific questions just ask. The generator has been installed in the compartment but has not been wired or plumbed. Everything is there, through hulls etc, but it needs to be hooked up. I guarantee that it functions. It is diesel. Included in the sale are a few other items, we found an original hard top that will be great and we have seat bases for the fly bridge that are included. We also have some of the carpet that we have not used. Also include is a full radar system. we did not install it because we were waiting to install the top. Also have an AC breaker panel with shore/gen switch. Here is a recent video of it cruising. http://youtu.be/IKpmybsxQ08 just copy into your browser to view.
