2000 Chaparral Signature 260

This 2000 Chaparral Signature 260 is a 26-foot fiberglass cruiser powered by a 310 hp MerCruiser 7.4L MPI engine with Bravo III dual-prop drive. The boat runs at a cruising speed of 25 knots and tops out around 35 knots. The engine has logged only 385 hours and runs reliably. The single-engine setup keeps operation straightforward while delivering strong performance for a day cruiser of this size.

The cockpit seats 8 to 10 people across multiple seating areas: a sofa with table section, an L-shaped lounge, and the helm seat. A convertible cockpit lounge provides additional sleeping or relaxation space. A canopy overhead offers adjustable sun and weather protection. The extended swim platform includes a boarding ladder and transom shower, and a walk-through windshield allows safe access to the bow. A Bimini top is fitted.

Below deck, the interior stands 6 feet 3 inches high and sleeps four—a forward berth and a private aft cabin. The fully enclosed fiberglass head includes a shower and storage. The galley is equipped with a single-burner stove, refrigerator, microwave, pressurized water sink, and deep cookware compartment. An AC/DC converter with shore power supports dockside comfort including a television and outlets. Navigation gear includes a handheld VHF radio and Garmin GPS.

The engine oil was changed recently, and the toilet pump was replaced last season. The hull bottom was painted five years ago. The speedometer is not functional, though the RPM gauge works; the trip-measurement display is inoperative, but the trip computer functions normally. The interior stereo plays well; the exterior speakers do not work. The boat performs smoothly at cruise and full throttle.
