The shrink wrap is off--4/17/26-- and this one is very nice. I bet you won't find a cleaner one out there, she is in excellent condition. Only 128.3 hours on the well taken care of Volvo-Penta 4.3L 280c engine. Garmin GPSmap 741xs. Airmar thru hull transducer. Bracket mounted table that has mounts for it fore and aft. Sun covers like new in boxes. Bimini top. Port-o-potti in head with fresh water sink. Clarion bluetooth, Sirius xm ready stereo with speakers. Cockpit lights. Docking lights. Swim ladders, bow and stern. All cushions are in excellent condition. Has the snap down decking that is being stored off the boat. Ski/tow hook on stern. This boat shows in excellent condition and the gelcoat has no oxidation or hazing its very clean. Whoever buys this is getting a used boat in excellent condition for a fraction of the new boat costs.
*This boat does come with a 2017 Dual axle Tidewater TR-24T aluminum roller trailer*
Incorporating Chaparral's patented Wide Tech technology, the action-packed 224 mixes the roominess of a deck boat with the zest of a sport boat. Nothing sizes up to the 224 when it comes to performance and features. Uncover huge storage areas under the seats, in the starboard console and in a wakeboard-sized floor locker. The cockpit wet bar is ideal for light snacks. Three easy-to-reach ice chests are super cool. Want to beat the heat? An oversized, color coordinated Bimini top keeps you covered in typical Sunesta style.
