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.

Hydraulic trim tabs help her hop up on plane beautifully. Marketed as a 'six sleeper' when introduced in 1965 - two in the forward V-berth cabin, two in the 'bunk bed' (sofa back swing up to make bunks), and the dinette folds down for two more - mainly for two adults and 2-4 kids, although the bunks are over six feet long. Heavy duty triple axel trailer included - was custom built for this boat in 2000. PO said engines and trans were rebuilt around 2000 also.
