Chaparral Boats has been building recreational fiberglass boats since 1965 and introduced its Signature cruiser line in 1983. The brand is known for combining practical family boating layouts with performance-oriented hull designs and well-appointed cruising accommodations. The Chaparral Signature 260 is a trailerable mid-cabin cruiser designed for day boating, entertaining and comfortable overnight cruising. Its 8'6" beam, Extended V-Plane hull, deep cockpit, walk-through windshield, convertible forward berth, separate aft sleeping area, enclosed head and compact galley provide substantial cruising versatility in a manageable 26-foot package. This 2001 Chaparral Signature 260 is powered by a single Volvo Penta 5.7L GXi V8 producing 320 HP through a Volvo DuoProp sterndrive. A standout SideShift bow thruster with helm joystick and handheld remote adds valuable low-speed maneuverability. Additional highlights include a new marine refrigerator, new stereo, Garmin EchoMap 70s GPS/sonar, Standard Horizon GX1400GPS VHF, new windlass and wiring, full enclosure canvas, air conditioning and heat, upgraded LED lighting, steering improvements, battery and charging upgrades, updated cabin and cockpit carpeting, aft-cabin cushion and mattress upgrades, and approximately 500 engine hours.
