SIGNATURE 290 Cruiser
The Chaparral story dates back to 1965 when Buck Pegg founded a boat company named Fiberglass Fabricators. In 1976 a move to Nashville, Georgia and a name change to Chaparral put the company in high gear. Two heads are better than one. Buck Pegg and Jim Lane form boating's most successful partnership. The duo joined forces in 1977 and are the driving force that propels Chaparral. As the square footage expanded and the centerlines inched up, so did the market share. In recent times, the rules for selling boats have changed: Styling, Performance, Features, Price & Name on the hull are Important. Today, more than ever, the company behind the name is the key. Chaparral has become a powerhouse in the marine industry due its cutting-edge technology, steady stream of award-winning new boats, solid management, strong dealer network, good business practices, value-oriented pricing model and aggressive marketing. Today, Chaparral has more than a quarter million satisfied customers worldwide.
There are four cornerstone reasons why Chaparral is “Leading by Design.” Other boat builders share some of these common denominators… the difference is nobody puts it all together like Chaparral. DESIGN INNOVATION New product development drives Chaparral forward. In 46 years of company history, Chaparral has won an unparalleled 41 awards for product excellence including 12 Boat of the Year trophies. When Chaparral wins, you win. CUSTOMER SERVICE Chaparral is determined to keep the pleasure in pleasure boating. Customer Service is priority one. Chaparral has earned the NMMA CSI Award for Excellence in Customer Satisfaction four years in a row and won in every segment of boats that Chaparral builds: bowriders, deckboats, cuddy and cruisers.
FINANCIAL STRENGTH Is performance the way a boat handles or the financial horsepower of your boat builder to weather any storm and maintain the highest quality standards? At Chaparral it’s both. Traded on the NYSE under the symbol MPX, Chaparral’s strong zero-debt balance sheet is a verifiable matter of public record…a claim most rivals can’t make. When you turn the key on Chaparral you’re not just buying a boat, you’re also buying a company. Choose wisely. Choose Chaparral. WORLDWIDE DELARER NETWORK Professional, knowledgeable and keyed into all aspects of owning a Chaparral, Chaparral’s dealer is dedicated to helping you create the ultimate boating lifestyle. Loyalty and Experience are key. ESMARIO MARINE with service centres across most of the coastal states of India and with an experience of more than 25 years of providing services to the Indian marine industry assures our clients peace of mind and reliability.
THE SIGNATURE LIFESTYLE
The SIGNATURE LIFESTYLE The 290 has a secure, dry riding 9'6" beam while the leading rival in this size range measures in at 8'10". In the engine room, twin stern drives pack a far more powerful punch than rival single engine offerings. Below decks, a side dinette table offers far more options and space than a v-berth dinette and a one-piece sliding door is heads and shoulders above a three-piece accordion door.
Best-In-Class. Seaworthy. Powerful. If you're searching for the most space-efficient family cruiser available under 30-feet the 290 Signature is right on target. At home in all kinds of water conditions, the 290 mixes form, function and performance with a distinct touch of Chaparral class. Available with twin engine V-6 power, the 290 enjoys a noteworthy performance edge over comparably-sized rivals that may offer only single engine propulsion. Inside, the rear seat base collapses for full transom access for fishing or diving. Rod holders are optional. If you want a custom look, the options list includes a radar arch, a windlass, underwater lights, a gas grill, remote spotlight and a fire protection system. Every piece of hardware, from the electro-polished thru hulls to the flush mount pull-up latches, is corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Finally, Kevlar速 reinforcement makes a convincing statement about the quality Chaparral puts into every cruiser.
ON THE WATER Put the throttles down and enjoy the ride comfort of a cruiser that many consider among the best performers in this very popular size range. The 290 planes effortlessly, is extremely efficient in the all-important cruise range and packs a powerful punch at full-speed.
OVERHEAD VIEW
Chaparral's Wide Tech technology delivers a phenomenal ride on a cruiser that looks macho yet sleek. Length Overall (LOA) w/ Swim Platform: 29’ (8.84 M) Beam: 9’ 6” (2.90 M) Deadrise: 20 Degrees
STEP THRU WINDSHIELD When it's time to handle dock lines, molded dash steps, a walk-thru windshield and raised stainless bow rails make deck access easy.
HELM
The most high-tech dash design in sport cruisers includes digital instrumentation, Power On illuminated rocker switches, a DC power plug and Dimmer controls. Remote control shown is only for Illustration. Compass, Mahogany Tilt Steering and Garmin 5208 GPS Navigation system are OPTIONAL.
DUAL HELM SEAT
The helm seat includes independent flip-up front cushions for stand-up, sit down or bolster operation. Note the molded storage area under the double wide seat.
COCKPIT WET BAR
The handy cockpit wet bar features a solid surface countertop, sink, pull-out sprayer faucet and a stainless grab handle. A removable ice chest stows underneath. SS drink holders surround the cockpit.
COCKPIT DINETTE
Face-to-face cockpit couches and a standard dinette are perfect at meal time. A standard filler cushion creates a huge multi-purpose sun lounge
TRANSOM The transom storage trunk, complete with a stainless steel hangar, has a drain to prevent water build up. Dockside connections are located inside out of the weather.
FLOOR PLAN
• Most cruisers in this size range require you to wake up and disassemble the forward berth if you want to use the dinette to sip some early morning coffee. Not so on the 290 which is engineered with a huge berth and a separate dinette. • Remarkably, given it's under-30-feet centerline, the cabin sleeps six which is the same as our 370 flagship.
MAIN CABIN
DINETTE Putting every inch of space to use, the comfortable fourperson dinette has a drop in table for mealtime. A center filler cushion converts the area to an overnight berth for two. Overhead storage cabinets are handy for carry-ons.
For a finishing touch, add optional accent pillows, shams and color-coordinated towels that match your cabin fabric selection.
CABIN GALLEY The AC/DC refrigerator, microwave, sink and grab rail are all made of stainless steel. The 290 enjoys a competitive edge when it comes to countertop space and most boats in this size range don't even offer drawer storage in the galley. Note that the standard TV is mounted in the galley for widespread viewing.
CABIN HEAD The stand-up head features a shower curtain, wand faucet, sink, under counter storage and a stainless grab rail. A screened port adds ventilation. The VacuFlush porcelain head has a holding tank with level indicator and a custom built-in seat cover for changing clothes. A gray water system and macerator are optional.
AFT CABIN
The best-in-class aft cabin has comfortable overnight accommodations for two adults. A screened opening port provides added ventilation. A high quality flat screen TV/DVD is optional.
CLOSET Conveniently located at the entryway to the aft cabin, nothing is better than the smell of fresh, neatly pressed clothes coming out of a cedar lined closet..
