Chaparral Signature 31ft Motor Sports Cruiser Family Sports Cruiser 1995Newer Twin Diesel Volvo Kad 32 Engines which have been replaced by a previous owner, I have done about 35 hrs in her but cannot tell exactly overall. They appear very new with no signs of wear or repairs. We've had her looked at by experienced boating people who are very complementary. Never let her run dry and a topup was around £260. Cruise speed is around 25knots but can sprint above 30.
We have used her for several years on the Medway from Allington Marina, before moving to Conyer Creek, Swale Marina where she is now. The marina is 10 mins drive from Faverhsam in Kent. Inside the cabin is well laid out with many clever storage spots, internal lighting and power sockets. She also has an entertainment system allowing radio and Bluetooth to your phone. I am a new boater and not mechanically minded so have had the marina team annually service her and winterise her.She is currently on hard standing waiting for the Service to be completed including Prop blades reattached (stopped mid Covid) then relaunched in early June.
She has been anti-fouled over the winter so new paint. She has recently had the gators done on both bellows, new anodes fitted, throttle linkage greased.

Canopy in Blue which came with the boat but we have never used.Power on board from hook up or GeneratorsNo Bow thrusters but I have always managed to use the twin engines to move and dock. She is manageable with care and patience.Fridge keeps the beers and wine cold Happy to have independent views on her to make sure you know exactly what you are buying as I'm not a mechanic or experienced boater so want you to be happy knowing what you are buying. Please note the picture of the Props is from when I bought her and they have been repainted and could do with another coat.
I have taken these specs from a Chaparral site but please check with me for specifics. For instance I am 6'4" and can walk without shoes in the cabin.

Please see Pics and if interested contact me and I will add more if you need anything specific. Please note I am about 1hr from the boat so may take a while to add if I do not have the pics on my phone already.
Please make sure you understand where she is and any associated costs of transportation to where you need her. If serious I may be able to put you into contact with the previous owner who took her out more including trips to the Scilly Isles from Falmouth. I would ask you respect the price as there are many expensive boats out there, this is really good value for a boat with a big heart and plenty of life and enjoyment to be had. If you have less than 10 feedbacks, live too far away to visit or simply want to talk more about the boat, send a message and I will be happy to talk for hours about her.
