Overview
About this vessel
The Chaparral 287 SSx Premium Bowrider is the biggest trailerable bowrider in the line-up. Now available with Chaparral's new HTX electric hardtop that folds down flat to create a low roof line. This allows you to cruise under low bridges, makes storage easy and is a great way to stay dry on rainy days—just drop the roof down to the windscreen and relax in the ultra premium helm seat without a care in the world.
Packed with standard features such as twin screens and Infinity step, the 287 is big on comfort. Like all Chaparral's, it gives impressive performance on the water, is built to Salt Water Tough specifications and is a real head turner.
