| Hello NC Barth, I've learned in my life that at anytime any individual who displays a Chris Craft Commander in his avatar, offers advice, best heed it.  Six years ago I was in the same situation as you describe, except both my speedometer & the tachometer were faulty. After screwing around with both for awhile, I linked to the Speed Hut website, ordered a speedometer & matching tach & was able to chose my own design which harmonized with our dashboard. The speedometer was controlled by GPS & not a cable or wire. They even set the correct mileage at my request, and I couldn't be happier with their appearance & performance over the last five years. However, as I recall, it wasn't exactly a nickel/dime solution. Good Luck, John |

| Hi Tim & NC Barth, Tim, we've owned two Classic Chris Crafts, a wooden 1964 28' Sea Skiff & a 1980 fiberglass 26' Catalina. I have boxes full of magazines(Brass Bell, Classic Boat, etc) pertaining to Chris Craft & other vintage boats. In my opinion, the Commander Series like you own was the top of the line. I've always dreamed of having a Ray Hunt 30' commander(about as big as Lake Raystown in central PA could handle.)
NC Barth, as I recall each unit was approx. $ 200.00. but that was about 5 years ago, however, I'm sure they haven't gone down in price. Lastly, regarding our experience in boating, RV ing, & being around the racing community, an old mentor of mine said, "if you want to play, you're going to pay." That always echoes in my mind & has proven to be true.
Good Luck. John |
