About

WORLD CLASS RESTORATION!!!

This Chris Craft 42 Commander has been classified as being in the top five Commander restorations in the world. She has been transformed into a highly customized work of art at well over a cost of $500,000. When one boards this Chris Craft 42 Commander, one would swear that they are looking at a new Legacy, Bruckmann or Hinckley. The quality and craftsmanship is impeccable and superb. If she were a classic automobile, she would easily be the centerpiece in a Barrett-Jackson Auction.

The current owner had admired this Chris Craft 42 Commander at his Yacht Club in Montreal for a number of years and was totally in love with her grace, elegance and styling. When her original owner decided to find a new home for her in 1992, the current owner immediately purchased her. What he had in mind was to restore her to her original glory. What he ended up doing was to go way beyond just a refit and metamorphosed her into a magnificent beauty.

Zon Zon even grabbed the attention of Paul Pletcher, a renowned architect from the U.S., Zon Zon was the inspiration as well as the cover girl for Pletcher's 2011 book Restoration of the Fiberglass Chris Craft Commander. In his book, Mr. Pletcher referred to Zon Zon as stunning and of an exceptionally high standard, which is way into the multi-million dollar custom yacht category. (She) could dock at any high end yacht club in the world and be appreciated: Monaco, Hong Kong, Perth, Singapore, Fort Lauderdale, San Diego, etc. He also states that she is definitely in the top five Commander restorations that he has ever seen anywhere in the world at any cost.

She sports an amazing and flawless Carinthia Blue Awlgrip hull, new teak toerails and gunwales, a walk-through transom double door, custom teak decking in the cockpit and on the custom extended swim platform, a beautiful teak interior and teak sliding entrance doors, custom restructured windows throughout, Yanmar 6LPA-STP Diesels, a Kohler 8 kW generator, 2 digitally-controlled reverse air units, full Garmin electronics, fully enclosed canvas on the flybridge and cockpitand much, much more. Please review her specifications for all of her glorious details.

If you are looking for one of the finest restored Chris Craft 42 Commanders in the world, we would be honoured to take you aboard this floating work of art.

Testimonials

George Ayers was terrific to work with over the past few months as I evaluated, negotiated and purchased a CS 30 that Harris & Ellis Yachts had listed in Sarnia. He was patient, thorough and totally professional. I have owned nine sailboats in my 50+ years as a sailor. My experience with George and Harris & Ellis Yachts has been my best boat buying experience to date.

George did an amazing job of selling our CS 30 sailboat. A caring and compassionate person, he went above and beyond our expectations and never stopped working on our behalf to get the job done. We are forever grateful for his dedication to his work. Please let him know how much we think of him!

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Greg. Last October, my husband suddenly passed away due to a heart attack, leaving behind two boats. Greg was instrumental in helping me sell the first boat quickly and at a very good price. As for the second boat, due to my husband's declining health in his final year, the boat had been sitting idle at the dock near our home for over a year. Greg demonstrated the utmost professionalism in cleaning, maintaining, and preparing the boat for sale. He put in a tremendous amount of work, understanding the niche market for this boat, and always kept me informed of his progress without burdening me with the stress of the process. Last week, Greg successfully sold the second boat, and I am very satisfied with the price achieved. His professionalism and confidence in his work gave me a much-needed sense of security during such a difficult time.

Thank you for all your work in facilitating the sale of our dad's boat. Jake and I really appreciate all the hard work you put into it with the many visits, paperwork, etc. A special mention has to go out to Grant for teaching me how to fold the sails!

—

As first-time boat buyers and as foreigners wanting to buy a cruising catamaran in the US, we knew we needed a reliable broker that had our best interests in mind. John Heintzman was just that, and more! He was extremely committed to understanding what we were looking for, gave great advice, and guided us through the purchase process with great patience and knowledge. All in all, we felt very well taken care of.

—

I feel compelled to reach out about the absolutely wonderful experience that I have had with Grant and Patricia Bowlby. I completed the purchase of a boat yesterday and I couldn’t be happier. They were so helpful, kind, and patient. This was my first experience with a broker, and I think I’ve found the best.

I can’t thank Ewan Campbell enough for the super job he did in selling G, making up for my lack of experience in this realm and patiently searching for just the right buyer and a win-win for seller and buyer alike.

It was a wonderful experience selling A with Jeff Cole’s expert assistance. Thank you for simplifying a complicated process. Your patience and kindness are especially appreciated.
