For you all you Chris Craft 47 lovers

Just saw this today. What a good looking boat!

And it's got green Detroits.

I have no commercial interest in this boat. Just gawking.

To me, she looks like a real nice old 47 Commander. There could be lot's of good boat there.

1969 must have been a banner year for the Formica company.

I should know this but are Commanders fiberglass and Roamers aluminum?

Commanders were CC first line of big fiberglass boats. Rockers are either steel or aluminum. I know the original Roamers were steel but I'm not sure how many CC built in steel after they bought The Roamer Boat co. At some point CC switched to aluminum for all the Roamers. Bill will know as he has owned a Roamer since it was new.

Quentin, you could have bought this and just spent a year or two repainting that red trim

Not a bad boat, but 53 series are reputed to be hard to get parts for. Although there's no shortage of folks to work on them.

I suspect this design looks a lot better without the flying bridge, which looks like it wasn't part of the original drawings.
