They are very solid boats and they have a classic look that is hard to match these days.

Always good to see
"Bambi" appear on the internet - she's a true COMMANDER -- just like yours Paul,
eh?
Anyway, as you already know, Brian just started down the same road, -and bought a '65 CDR SF 38' for all of the very good (and true) reasons you made here.
BTW,...,. this that means that the little, itty-bitty us army marina (oxymoronic, aint it?
) on the Potomack River will harbor not only the CC Roamer Club's Webmaster, but now also a REAL genuine member of the CC Commanderos/heros -- and thatz just the way it is.
He got his hands full, to be sure, but it has a 2 inch thick hull - alwayz a good start for any boat restoration project. I'm sure he'll be keeping all of you guys posted - only I get to see it all first.
In any case, here's a few more shots of "
Bambi" - before, during and after -- she's now a fully-inducted member of the CC CDR pantheon of stars.
