2003 Chaparral 285 SSi
FRESH WATER VESSEL
Awarded Boat of the Year by Powerboat Magazine, the 2003 Chaparral 285 SSi is an exceptional blend of offshore performance, luxury, and quality craftsmanship. Built on Chaparral’s proven Extended V-Plane hull with a wide 9-foot, 3-inch beam, this express cruiser delivers a smooth, confident ride in larger seas while remaining agile enough for weekend cruising on inland waterways.
This vessel is equipped with a stylish radar arch that enhances its profile and functionality. The foredeck features an integrated bow pulpit with anchor guard and windlass option, while the spacious cockpit is designed for entertaining with a wet bar, refrigerator, and a brand-new full camper canvas with Isinglass enclosure for extended boating in any weather.
Below deck, the cabin offers comfortable overnight accommodations for two. A V-berth with a new king-size mattress insert provides a restful sleeping area, while the well-appointed galley includes a refrigerator and microwave. The fully enclosed fiberglass head features a marine toilet, sink, and shower hook up, making overnight trips both comfortable and convenient.
Power comes from a dependable MerCruiser 8.1L gas engine paired with a Bravo III drive, showing approximately 800 hours. This boat has been exceptionally well maintained and is clean throughout, making it an excellent opportunity for its next owner.
