Help Identifying This Boat! PICS

I didnt get any pictures yet, but its a light blue left hand drive, split seating, and the name on the dash is Comander. It doesnt have a speedometer anywhere that I saw, but it does have the pole and eye center mount in the boat. I dont know the engine right now, but its center mount, with prop and rudder on the back, Fiberglass hull, looks about 21 or 22 feet long. One piece windsheild that wraps around, and swim step on the back. I only looked at the boat for about five minutes, and its for sale, so I will be stopping back down there soon for pictures, and contact information. I was on a date, new chick, and she didnt have a smile on her face as I checked it out. Anyhow, think about it, I have to get off of here cause she is doing my dishes right now, and I told her I was using the restroom!!

There has been a Commander inboard ski boat on Craigslist in California over the last several months. I just did a search and apparently it is no longer listed. This particular Commander looked to be kind of a copy of an 80s model Ski Nautique. Long winded way of saying, not much help. BKH

Good advise..from a wise man!

Sorry guys, Last night she was the right girl.... Anyhow I swung by and got pictures today, so I edited the post, and added some. I have the phone number for the owner, but havent called yet due to a car/boat show I attended today. Let me know what you think!!

Dont need a dishwasher yet, they are still all clean....

This is the closest I can find to it, and its looking like a Correct Craft, not like the link spelled it.

Correct craft

I think its a chris craft!

how about this it's not a correct craft by a long shot.

This is a 1964-65 Starcraft. The owner posted it on Craigslist several weeks ago without a price or phone number. I replied to the ad, but never heard back. They were built in the Seattle area in the early 60's. I saw a restored one at Lake Washington several weeks ago. Cool looking boat on the water. Let me know what you find out about it after you talk with the owner!

maybe you need to look at your boat and you'll see it has the same bilge discharge location as your complaining about. Know my 79 was in the same location as the one pictured.

Couple more pics

It was in the same place on my '79, but the nautique design doesn't have the fitting 'front and center'...it's more out of the way under the curve of the bow. My bfn doesn't have any fittings forward of the stern.

That is a really slick looking boat. I think it is far too minimalist (dash and controls) for a large manufacturer. But FINS already ID'd it as a smaller, regional manufacturer.

The lines look like a fiberglass version of a Riva to me.

The interior looks nice, but I wouldn't expect that design if the boat is from the mid '60s. I'd guess that was redone and deviated from original.

Any news on this one? I'd like to know what is under the doghouse.

Why dont someone call that # on the sign and ask him??

Well I called to find out about the boat, and it was sold a week ago. It was a 1964 Starfire, and the lady wasnt sure of the history, but said her husband knew, and it sold for around $3000.00, in non running condition. She told me its built around the puget sound, but I still can not find any around here.

Thats all I have, if anyone finds more information, let me know. Fins, if you know more about these boats, send a link or something.
