The 1967 Chris-Craft 38 Commander Sedan represents a landmark in the builder's history as its first fiberglass cruiser. Designed by the legendary Fred Hudson and A.W. "Mac" Mackerer, this 38-foot boat was engineered with heavy reinforcement throughout its structure, reflecting Chris-Craft's commitment to durability in this new construction method. The fiberglass hull and stringers show no rot, with the boat known for solid, robust construction typical of the era's finest craftsmanship.
Powered by twin Ford Marine engines producing 600 horsepower combined, the Commander offers the performance expected of a cruiser in this class. The sedan layout provides spacious accommodations and a design aesthetic that defined an era of American boatbuilding—clean lines and proportions that remain distinctive today.
The boat has not been started recently and the engines will require some attention and work to return to service. The fiberglass structure itself remains sound, free from the decay issues that commonly plague older boats of this vintage. This is a classic example of the Commander 38's reputation for rugged, long-lasting construction.
