Cruisers Yachts

About the cockpit: The cockpit on this boat is excellent. Helm seat large with fold-up front so you can stand and drive. Large port long bench to lay-out and enjoy the ride. U-shaped seating in back with large table and can be purchased with refrigerator. This boat has high quality thick foam seats that are deep so they are comfortable to sit in.

Cabin: Materials used in the cabin of high quality. Though the front bed needs to be larger and width of the aft berth could be a bit wider if they would have used cushions for the back rest rather than built in ones. Remove the back cushion when you make up the bed in the back. Also, for most people, the head needs to be larger too even if it means making the galley a little smaller. The table and galley are of really high quality. Like the cockpit seating the seats are deep so comfortable to sit in. A lot of easily to get to storage too.

Construction: Chaparral uses the highest quality mass produced pleasure craft materials and equipment available. Much of the equipment manufactures that make thing for boats just don't make the stuff good. Bilge pumps, float switches, TVs, vacuum flush heads, ice makers, refrigerators, etc are mass produced and made a cheaply as they can. The hull, wiring, gelcoat, and quantity of stainless fixtures are great.

Handling: Handling is great. This boat is powered by twin Volve 5 liter fuel injected dual props and cruises at about 30 mph at 3500 rpm. Stable ride and good in ruff seas.

Engine Room: Twin Volve 5 liter fuel injected dual props.

This boat is almost perfect for a family, that desides to go on a little weekend cruise. It has everything you need, and those small things, that you would like to change are quite easy to fix. All the main equipment is fantastic!
