2008 Chaparral Signature 290

Chaparral's celebrated 290 Signature, with its seaworthy freeboard and soft-riding 10-foot beam has a big boat feel unexpected in this size range. Extended V-Plane performance delivers quick planing times, rock-solid stability, a dry ride and precise cornering agility. The 290's multi-purpose cockpit is designed for every pleasure. Aft, the hideaway rear cockpit bench folds away, opening up the entire transom for diving, fishing and water sports. Chaparral's walk-thru windshield and flat non-skid deck areas provide easier access than the narrow cat walks found on many cruisers. Aft, a large insert table with built-in drink holders mounts between the seats and drops down to form a huge aft sun lounge. Included in boating's most complete list of standard equipment is trim tabs, an extended swim platform and a triple battery setup with cross-over switches.

Accommodations

The Chaparral Signature 290 sleeps four in two berths, a double bed in the aft cabin and a roomy lounge seating area that converts to a large double in the forward section. There is a galley area with refrigerator, stove, microwave oven and sink with hot & cold pressure water. Across from the galley is a comfortable dinette area. Between the dinette and the lounge area, the boat easily seats 7 or 8 people.

Aft of the galley on the starboard side is a fully equipped bath with shower.

The Cockpit has seating for 10-12, with a cocktail table and sink with hot and cold pressure water.

There is a large swim platform with freshwater shower and stereo controls. This lovely boat is perfect for cruising the shoreline or weekends at anchor in the southern islands.
