Thanks for everyones help on the commander. It has sold to a great family looking for a commander

http://www.pearsoncommandersailboat.com/ The page that is (Blank) is really the not blank, just cant get it off the template. That page has all the goodies she comes with.

After a great summer of sailing i have to say the commander is for sale, not because i have too its because it's the right thing too do. After this summer i have found in my heart i need a boat on a trailer again. I miss the long weekends sailing around Drummond island and the North channel. Weekend buzz up to Mackinac island just because we could. Canada just to say we sailed into another country that weekend (the kids) loved to go to school and say that. Its a great boat, but i just cant stand sailing against sand dunes of west Michigan every weekend. I need to be able to move around on my holidays. Don't know a price yet, details will follow, but  i thought this site would have the person that would love and respect the commander. If any of you know of a person looking have them email me. Boat has been in Michigan Macatawa harbor all its life. I'm only the second owner Thank You Craig

Thanks ebb that's exactly what I was looking for, the weight and someone saying just spend the money. And yes the search box is not always the best way for info. I'll keep you updated

Winter will be in Michigan before we know it, looking to overhaul the mast this winter. How much does it weight?. I'm debating having the marina take it down 300.00 down 300.00 up, so 600.00. Or is it just as easy to rent a cherry picker do it over a weeks time while still on the commander. I ask the weight because i want to replace the wooden mast base at the same time, so i would have to lift the mast with a picker.Looked the search box for weight found everything else just not the pounds i was looking for. Any suggestions or comments on what to do and not do will greatly help.

Thanks i know 15hp is too much but its free and will get me through the remainder of then season. I will more likely get the nissan in the spring

i was talking to my dad about a motor and he said why dont you take the 15hp johnson  1984 long shaft from under the stairs.....WHAT...... i forgot all about it. very little use and not used since 1988. and it weights 18lbs less than my current 1987 9.9 yachtwin. Sent it in for a carb clean and look over, purrs like a kitten. Now what prop do i get? need help on that. Lake macatawa, lake michigan sailing. Not big on going out in high knots yet

I did look at the search box, but was hoping a new small 4 stroke was out there. I'll look at the 6hp long shaft by merc  Does the motor work with a good wind?

Do any of the 9.9 4 stroke outboard's fit into a 1966 commander motor box?. Need a new motor and they all look VERY large need help
