Overview
About this vessel
Chaparral 287 SSx Premium Bowrider — the biggest trailerable bowrider in our line-up at 3500kg with an aluminium tandem trailer — and 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 also a great way to stay dry on rainy days. Simply 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, but like all of Chaparral's it also delivers impressive performance on the water, is built to 'Salt Water Tough' specifications, and is a real head turner. Priced here with a 430 hp V8, HTX folding hardtop, trailer, Seadeck flooring, fridge, anchor winch, full head up-grade, covers, and heaps more.
Do your research, check out what you are actually buying, and you will soon see why the new 287 SSx is hard to beat.
