Chaparral’s attention to detail is unmatched. The 290 is equipped with options like a 10,000 BTU air conditioning system, an electric table in the cabin, rod holders, a remote spotlight, and a sun lounge deck pad. Advantage Chaparral comes through in refinements like vented aft cabin windows. Solid surface countertops, a cedar lined clothes closet and a lockable translucent cabin door. At the helm, our dual wide flip-up bolster seats work in coordination with a tilt steering wheel for optimum control and comfort either sitting or standing.
