1969 Chris-Craft 38 Commander

Freshwater Only | First-Year Fiberglass | Turn-Key Classic | Offered at $74,900

This 1969 Chris-Craft 38 Commander represents a pivotal moment in American boatbuilding-the first year of full fiberglass construction for the iconic Commander line. Built during an era when boats were intentionally overbuilt, this model features a thick, solid fiberglass hull that replaced traditional wooden construction while preserving the craftsmanship and offshore confidence Chris-Craft was known for.

This particular example has lived entirely in freshwater and has been thoroughly gone through with usability in mind. This is not a project, not a half-finished restoration, and not a neglected classic. Systems, mechanicals, and interior spaces have been addressed so the next owner can use and enjoy the boat immediately.

At $74,900, this Commander is positioned as one of the most compelling turn-key classic cruisers available today.
