Beautiful Chris Craft 31' Commander - this was CC's first line of fiberglass boats - very thick solid fiberglass hull. Gelcoat is in great condition, as well as teak/mahogany interior - boat lived on the western tip of Lake Superior for 55 years - used in the summer and stored under cover for other nine months. Twin Chris Craft (Chevy) 327 V8 engines that run great. I took this boat down the MS, Ohio and TN rivers from ST Paul, MN to Columbus MS - burned less than 1/2 qt of oil per engine for the 1200 mile trip. Upgrades over the last year include: new 7 gal elec water heater, new Blue Seas 110V breaker panel, MarinAire 9000 btu a/c with reverse heat, new Johnson elec Marine Toilet, 1,000 watt inverter, new microwave and toaster oven. Also installed new three-bank battery charger - two cranking batteries, and two house batteries, all new. Existing fridge and two burner elec cooktop work great. More photos coming soon.
