Chris-Craft Commander 45 Sportfish

This 1978 Chris-Craft Commander 45 Sportfish is a rare opportunity to own a heavily upgraded, pedigree classic that has been exceptionally cared for throughout its life. Moored in freshwater on Lake Union in a transferable undercover slip, this vessel has benefited from long-term freshwater use, meticulous ownership, and significant capital investment over the years.

Often described as a "garage-kept car on the water," this Commander stands out for her condition, functionality, and timeless Chris-Craft build quality. The last several owners have focused on meaningful mechanical, electrical, and systems upgrades while preserving the character and integrity of the original design.

With a fully enclosed flybridge, spacious fishing cockpit, and a comfortable two-stateroom interior, she is equally suited for extended Inside Passage cruising, family cruising, or serious fishing.

This Chris-Craft Commander 45 is a standout example of a classic American motor yacht that has been continuously improved and preserved. With freshwater history, undercover moorage, extensive upgrades, and legendary Chris-Craft build quality, she represents exceptional value for anyone seeking a capable cruiser with timeless style.

Turn-key, reliable, and ready for her next owner.
