Boat is located in: Springfield, Louisiana
This 1972 Chris Craft Commander cockpit "Wet and Wild" is one of thirty hull design. 7-UP bought this boat new from the factory and kept it in Nola for the first 4 years of her life.
In 1976 Wet and Wild was bought and moved to Springfield, Louisiana, where she currently resides in a covered, fresh water, shed.
Wet and Wild was truly blessed with her owners, because of the attention to detail showed over the years.
A full interior restoration completed twice, but most recently in 2011.
The current owner has cared for this vessel more than one probably should.
With upgrades in every facet of the boat, it is truly one of a kind.
Detailed records dating back to 1986.
