2014 Chaparral 327 SSX Hardtop — One of the Cleanest on the Market
Freshwater since new. Professionally maintained. Fully loaded. This 2014 Chaparral 327 SSX Hardtop represents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously cared-for luxury bowrider with over $25,000 in documented maintenance and service records available for review. The second owner since 2022, the seller has used the boat exclusively on Lake St. Clair and has always stored it at Sassy heated storage — a combination that speaks directly to the boat's exceptional condition.
Originally enjoyed on Lake Lanier in Georgia, this 327 SSX has lived its entire life in freshwater, protecting the hull, drives, and mechanical systems from the accelerated wear that saltwater exposure brings. With approximately 400 engine hours on the twin Mer Cruiser 5.7L MPI powerplants, this boat is well within its prime service life and ready to enjoy immediately.
As a bonus, the buyer may assume the current marina slip in New Baltimore, Michigan for the remainder of the 2026 boating season — a rare and valuable perk in a competitive marina market.
KEY FEATURES
- Factory Fiberglass Hardtop with Full Camper Enclosure — The factory hardtop transforms this bowrider into a true four-season vessel. Paired with central air conditioning and heat, this boat can be comfortably enjoyed from early spring through late fall — a significant advantage over open-bow competitors and a feature that dramatically expands the usable boating season in the Great Lakes region.
-
- Mercury Axius Joystick Docking System — Docking a 33-foot twin-engine boat in tight marina slips is effortless with the Mercury Axius joystick system. This technology allows precise, intuitive control of the boat at low speeds — moving sideways, spinning in place, or holding position — making solo operation or docking in challenging conditions far less stressful. It's a feature typically found on much larger and more expensive vessels.
-
- Westerbeke Generator with Approximately 340 Hours — The onboard Westerbeke generator powers the air conditioning, microwave, flat-screen TVs, and other 120V amenities at anchor or at the dock without shore power. This is what separates a true liveaboard-capable cruiser from a day boat, and it means this 327 SSX can be enjoyed as a weekend getaway vessel without compromise.
