1973 Chris-Craft 55 Commander – Life After Land

The 1973 Chris-Craft 55 Commander “Life After Land” is a classic American motor yacht known for its solid fiberglass construction and proven modified-V hull design. Powered by twin 425hp Detroit 8V71T diesel engines, she offers dependable performance and the rugged build quality that made the Commander series famous.

This vessel is best suited for a buyer looking for a project boat with strong fundamentals. While she will benefit from cosmetic updates and modernization, there are no known structural issues, and the engines are reported to be in good condition. With three private staterooms each featuring their own head and separate shower, this yacht provides excellent space for liveaboard living or coastal cruising.

The large enclosed aft deck and spacious flybridge offer plenty of room for relaxing or entertaining, while wide side decks and sturdy rails make moving around the vessel safe and easy. With some sweat equity and updates, Life After Land could be transformed into a comfortable cruising yacht or floating home.

Located in Ruskin, Florida, this classic Commander represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Chris-Craft heritage.
