The 1970 Chris-Craft 42 Commander is a fiberglass motor yacht built to cruise the Great Lakes. Twin 427 Ford engines produce 300 horsepower each, supported by a Kohler 7.5-kilowatt generator. The engines have accrued 1,168 hours of operation. Fuel capacity is 500 gallons across two tanks, with 40 gallons of water and 30 gallons of holding capacity.
The cockpit features a full canvas enclosure, generous seating, and a helm station with ComNav Autohelm, Raytheon VHF radio, depth and speed instruments, and electric windlass controls. Exterior amenities include a swim platform, bow and cockpit cushions, teak accents, and a full complement of anchoring and mooring gear.
Below deck, the yacht offers two staterooms and two heads. The forward cabin sleeps two adults in a V-berth, while the aft cabin has twin single beds. Both heads are equipped with Vacuflush toilets; the aft head also includes a shower. The galley features a refrigerator with separate freezer and ice maker, three-burner stove with oven, microwave, and coffee maker. A spacious salon with sofa, large windows, and table connects the accommodations.
Recent upgrades include new Mallory electronic ignition systems and electric fuel pumps. The yacht carries standard safety equipment including fire suppression, automatic bilge pump, anchors, life rings, and a battery-powered floating light. A portable air conditioner is available for climate control.
