1986 Chaparral 278XLC

This 1986 Chaparral 278XLC is a 28-foot fiberglass cabin cruiser that was comprehensively repowered in 2010 with a fuel-injected MerCruiser 5.7L engine producing 300 horsepower, paired with a new transom assembly and Bravo 3 outdrive. The boat reaches speeds of 45 mph and comes with a 2006 Loadmaster Sportliner aluminum trailer. The engine has been regularly maintained and runs well.

The cabin accommodates five people and features abundant teak woodwork in sound condition. The interior layout includes full standing headroom, rebuilt seating and curtains, a closet that houses a folding dining table, and a holding tank. The boat is equipped with a full Bimini top and complete deck cover.

The holding tank requires replacement, and the refrigerator needs repair. The depth finder should be replaced. Minor cosmetic work remains, including exterior detailing to address scratches and restaining of the exterior teak. These tasks can be addressed at the owner's pace. The boat has been kept in indoor storage since 2006 and has been run regularly in freshwater on the St. Johns River.
