This 2008 Chaparral Signature 280 is a 28-foot fiberglass cruiser built for both performance and comfort. Twin Volvo Penta 4.3 GXi-G fuel-injected engines with 787 hours of operation provide economical cruising and confident handling. The Volvo DPS-B1 dual-prop outdrives were replaced in 2022 and fully serviced in 2024.
The cockpit is designed for entertaining, with comfortable seating, a wet bar, and clear sightlines from the helm. Below deck, the cabin accommodates overnight stays with a galley, enclosed head, and sleeping areas. A Kohler 5kW generator provides independence at anchor, while reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating ensure comfort in all seasons.
The boat has received ongoing professional maintenance, including a major engine and mechanical service completed in January 2025, oil service in 2026, and zinc replacement in June 2026. New canvas with Strataglass enclosure was installed in 2022. The yacht spent the majority of its life freshwater-moored until April 2025.
