This 2003 Chaparral Signature 280 is a 28-foot express cruiser powered by twin Mercruiser engines producing 440 horsepower. The fiberglass hull measures 9 feet 6 inches across the beam, providing a spacious platform both above and below deck. The boat is equipped with a bimini top, air-conditioning, and a generator, though the generator is not currently operational.
The interior sleeps six across three sleeping areas: a forward V-berth with two berths, an aft cabin with two berths, and a dinette convertible to two additional berths. The galley is well-appointed, and a single head serves the accommodations. Cherry joinery, designer fabrics, and vinyl wall coverings define the cabin aesthetic, while privacy curtains separate the sleeping quarters from the main cabin space.
The cockpit features a helm station with a tilt wheel and dual flip-up seating, alongside a walk-through windshield for foredeck access. Additional equipment includes a transom storage locker, a cockpit entertainment center, and a radar arch. The engine room is well-designed and accessible. The boat remains in solid condition throughout.
