Locally owned and cared for you will find this 1968 Chris-Craft 35-foot Commander floating on Lake Okoboji!!   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.
