1968 Chris-Craft 35 Commander - A Rare Mid-Century Icon - The Ultimate Classic Cruiser
Step aboard a true legend. Introduced in 1968, the 35' Commander was Chris-Craft's bold statement in the transition to fiberglass. With only 125 units produced in its inaugural year, this boat is a rare find for the serious collector. It is renowned for its 13-foot beam, providing a massive, stable platform that feels significantly larger than its 35-foot length suggests.
Power & Performance
Engine Configuration: Typically powered by Twin 327F small-block Chevy V8s (210 HP each). One engine has 778 hours and the other 856!
Legendary Hull: Built with heavy, hand-laid fiberglass layers that deliver a smooth, "big-boat" ride even in challenging conditions.
Maneuverability: Direct drive inboard configuration provides exceptional tracking and predictable handling at the dock.
Luxurious Layout & Mid-Century Modern Cabin
Open-Concept Salon: Features large sliding windows that flood the cabin with natural light.
Sleeping for Six: The versatile layout includes a private forward V-berth, a dinette that converts to a double berth, and a starboard lounge that becomes upper/lower bunks.
Full Galley & Head: Equipped with an L-shaped galley including a stove, oven, refrigerator, and sink, plus a private head compartment with a shower.
The "Mahogany Era": This 1968 model features the highly desirable original mahogany trim, which was replaced by fiberglass in later production years.
Key Features
Spacious Cockpit: A 10-foot-wide aft deck perfect for entertaining or folding chairs.
Classic Windshield: Features the iconic operable twin-glass windshield, a hallmark of Chris-Craft's design heritage.
