Chris-Craft Commander

When the 55 Chris Craft was introduced in 1970, she was the largest fiberglass yacht in the Chris Craft fleet. Like many of her contemporaries of her era, the 55 was designed to be operated as a crewed vessel. She was built using a unique three-piece hull. The bottom is one mold and the hullsides are two different pieces. A molded spray rail runs around the hull where the bottom and sides are joined, and a long keel below adds directional stability. The first of the Chris 55 Fluse decks were hardtop models with a covered aft deck and semi-enclosed helm. After 1972 the flybridge became a popular option. The interior is arranged with the owners stateroom and guest cabin aft, a mid-level dining salon, and galley, and a guest stateroom in the bow. The main salon is very spacious and includes a flybridge access ladder, wing doors forward, and a built in wet bar.
