Presenting a classic 1970 Chris Craft 31 Commander that has undergone a comprehensive and professional renewal in recent years. This 9.45-meter motor yacht represents a significant opportunity for enthusiasts of heritage vessels who require the peace of mind provided by extensive technical and cosmetic updates. With a beam of 3.3 meters and a draft of 1 meter, the vessel offers stable performance and a spacious interior layout.
Mechanically, the yacht has been revitalized to ensure modern functionality. Key updates include new Rock Chester carburetors with custom CNC-machined risers, new Mercruiser tachometers, and overhauled fuel pumps. The propulsion system benefits from new spark plugs, wires, and ignition distributors, paired with a substantial 600-liter stainless steel fuel tank featuring new sensors.

Accommodation is intelligently maximized for comfort, featuring two private cabins and a total of six berths, including a master bow berth and a convertible dinette. The interior showcases fine craftsmanship, with solid mahogany woodwork, a mahogany and maple-inlaid sole, and custom cabinetry including a marble-topped galley. Modern creature comforts include a 12V refrigerator, a new electric toilet, and LED lighting throughout, all powered by an updated electrical system.
The exterior presents a finished appearance following a 2023 hull paint job and a complete deck refinishing five years prior. The cockpit features a new WPC ecological swim platform with a hot/cold shower, custom seating, and blue underwater lighting. The vessel is protected by new grey cockpit and side canvas covers. Please note that the price has been reduced, and the vessel is located in Italy, with the sale price including VAT.
