Search high and low in this size range and you won't find a cruiser with more cabin headroom, legroom or storage space than the incredible 280 Signature. At home in all kinds of waterways, the 280 mixes form and function with a unique Chaparral touch of class. Fully equipped with an impressive array of standard equipment, the 280 can also be outfitted with options including a hinged radar arch, rod holders, windlass and either gas or diesel power. One significant area where the 280 gains a competitive edge is construction and rigging. New for 2009, as part of our award-winning Quad Radial lamination process, all of our Signature cruisers are Kevlar reinforced. Dura Life Max vinyls are treated for stain resistance and include triple french stitching. A Chaparral hallmark, every piece of hardware from bow to stern is stainless steel.
