The 2016 Chaparral 290 Signature is a 29-foot fiberglass cruiser powered by twin Volvo Penta engines rated at 400 hp combined. The boat has been used exclusively in fresh water in Arizona and shows only 333 hours of engine time. It rides on a triple-axle trailer and features trim tabs for improved handling. Recent service work includes new bottom paint, new speakers, and updated cockpit lighting. Underwater lights are also installed.
The cabin layout sets this boat apart from typical cruisers of its length. A large forward berth remains independent from the dinette, eliminating the need to disassemble sleeping quarters to use the saloon for morning coffee—a practical advantage most competitors in this size range cannot claim. The galley and saloon arrangement provides genuine living space without compromise.
Accommodations include sleeping for six people, a full head, two cedar-lined clothes closets, and substantial natural light from an oversized square deck hatch with retractable shade and screen, plus four screened ports at eye level. Standard finishes feature removable carpet, flat-screen entertainment systems, and privacy drapes throughout. The cabin presents an open, airy feel despite the boat's modest footprint. A sea grass cockpit carpet completes the topside.
The boat was recently serviced and is ready for use. Optional equipment noted includes a 10,000 BTU air-conditioning and heating unit, teak and holly cabin flooring, and a full camper canvas enclosure.
