2012 Chaparral 327 SSX — Bowrider, Cruiser, and Entertainer All in One
I've owned this boat and maintained it with an open checkbook. It bridges the gap between a massive bowrider that handles 8–10+ people on the water and a genuine overnight cruiser with air conditioning, a full cabin, and an enclosed head. Over $20,000 in recent maintenance
UPGRADES: makes this the most turn-key 327 SSX on the market in Minnesota, and it was formally surveyed and rated " Above Average" — hull, gelcoat, vinyl, and mechanical systems are all in beautiful shape.
KEY FEATURES:
- New Port Outdrive — Brand-new Mercruiser Bravo X outdrive on the port side (approximately $14,000 value), zero hours. Complete peace of mind for the next owner.
-
- Upgraded LFP 120V System — Retrofitted with a high-capacity Lithium Iron Phosphate house battery bank and a Xantrex Freedom XC 2000 Inverter/Charger. I run the A/C, microwave, and TV silently at anchor all day without touching the generator — a real game-changer for overnight stays.
-
- Cabin Amenities — Air conditioning/heating, leatherette convertible settee that lays flat into a bed for two, microwave, flat-screen TV, and an enclosed Vacu-flush head with shower. The front lounge area with extra cushions also converts to a full lay-flat bed.
-
- Cockpit & Entertaining — FRP radar arch/hardtop, cockpit wet bar with Isotherm refrigerator, and an electric aft lounge seat that folds completely flat into a massive sun pad.
-
- Ground Tackle — Lewmar electric windlass anchor with stainless steel plow and 25 feet of chain.
-
- Trailer Included — Heavy-duty Ace aluminum tri-axle trailer with integrated brakes, toolbox, and spare tire.
