Enjoyed By One and All
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, snap-in carpet and a triple battery setup with cross-over switches.
