Chaparral 2550 SX

I am selling my beloved Chaparral 1995 2550 SX. This boat has been owned, improved, and cared for by a professional marine mechanic for the past 4 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 price is firm and does NOT include the pictured trailer which is being offered separately, once the boat sells, for $3,500 firm.

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.

This vessel is extensively equipped. A non-exhaustive list of work done will be below, chronicled by year.
