Chaparral 2550 sx Photographs

This boat has been owned, improved, and cared for by a professional marine mechanic for the past 5 years. She is in near-mint condition and is mechanically flawless. She has no soft spots or rot and is built with Greenwood XL pressure treated marine plywood that was marketed as rot/delamination resistant.

I am selling due to a change in life circumstances. This has been a freshwater vessel since new with the exception of 2 seasons in Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay.

The boat features a brand new, custom full boat cover. The boat features a Bimini with stainless frame and full camping canvas. She also features a custom, OEM snap-on cockpit cover and OEM snap-in carpet over a fiberglass floor that has never seen the light of day and therefore looks new.

The boat sleeps two in a convertible double v-berth (also has a table for down below), has two hand pump faucets with 2.5 gallon water tanks, and a separate head compartment with a new porta-potty. The boat features a new stainless throttle, new Fusion stereo, 7" Garmin touchscreen chart plotter/fishfinder, electric trim tabs with keypad indicators, and much more!

The tandem-axle aluminum trailer goes with it, but is NOT included in the list price. The trailer features new tires (2022) and new bearings (2022) and is in great shape for a 1996 model.

The listed price does NOT include the pictured trailer which is being offered separately--once the boat sells--for $3,500.

The asking price for the boat with trailer is $22,995.
