Overview
About this vessel
Tropicana is a 2014 Chaparral 225 SSi Cuddy Cabin offering an excellent opportunity to own a premium American-built sports boat at an attractive price.
Stored in the dry stack at Republic of Singapore Yacht Club, she is powered by a MerCruiser 4.3 MPI V6 with Alpha One sterndrive and has logged only approximately 260 engine hours.
The owner advises that the boat runs well, all onboard systems are operational, and she is being offered as-is, where-is following a significant reduction in price for a quick sale.
Reliable MerCruiser Power
Power comes from a MerCruiser 4.3 MPI petrol engine driving through an Alpha One sterndrive.
With approximately 260 running hours, engine use has been relatively low for her age, making her an appealing option for buyers seeking a versatile day boat for cruising, watersports or weekends around Singapore's Southern Islands.
Maintenance History
Available invoices show that substantial mechanical work was undertaken in late 2022, including removal and rebuilding of the engine, replacement of the exhaust manifolds and elbows, new impeller, spark plugs, engine oil and filter, gear oil, together with various gaskets and sterndrive servicing.
More recent invoices record replacement of a raw water pressure sensor, battery-related work and repairs to the navigation lighting to meet MPA inspection requirements. While these records demonstrate previous investment in the boat, prospective purchasers should expect to carry out their own servicing and inspections as part of normal ownership.
Comfortable Layout
Unlike many sports boats of this size, Tropicana features a practical cuddy cabin providing sheltered overnight accommodation.
Features include sleeping space for up to three, Porta Potti, marine stereo, and upholstery in good condition.
The cockpit is spacious and well suited to entertaining, while an electronically folding aft bench seat converts into a large sunpad at the touch of a button, creating a particularly enjoyable space when relaxing at anchor.
Condition
Overall, Tropicana presents in good cosmetic condition for her age.
Buyers should note the following: the camper canvas remains serviceable, although the clear panels have become cloudy with age. The synthetic covering on the swim platform has started to lift in places.
These cosmetic items have been reflected in the asking price and do not prevent the boat from being used and enjoyed immediately.
Dry Stack Stored
The boat is stored in the dry stack at Republic of Singapore Yacht Club, reducing hull fouling and eliminating the need for the boat to remain permanently in the water. This has helped preserve her overall presentation.
Excellent Entry into Chaparral Ownership
Chaparral enjoys an excellent reputation for producing solidly built sports boats with practical layouts and enjoyable handling characteristics.
For buyers prepared to carry out routine servicing and address a handful of cosmetic items over time, Tropicana offers an affordable entry into ownership of a quality American sports boat with overnight accommodation.
