1986 Chris-Craft 422 Commander

The 1986 Chris-Craft 422 Commander is a 42-foot convertible built for serious cruising and fishing. Twin Detroit Diesel engines deliver 900 horsepower, enabling a cruising speed of 18 knots and a maximum speed of 21 knots. The fiberglass hull and well-established design make this model capable of extended offshore passages and extended voyages alike.

The boat sleeps multiple guests across two cabins and features one head. The layout accommodates both intimate cruising for two and entertaining groups of family and friends. The open design typical of the Commander model provides fishing capability alongside comfortable cruising accommodations, making it versatile for different uses and trip lengths.

Recent improvements include updated electronics, new canvas, and refreshed electronics controls. The boat combines the reliability expected from Detroit Diesel power with the practical accommodations and seakeeping qualities the Commander name represents.
