2013 Chaparral 287 SSX Boat in Cape Coral, FL 33993 US

2013 CHAPARRAL 287 SSX

UPGRADED 380 HP VOLVO PENTA • ONLY 266 HOURS • TRAILER INCLUDED

This exceptionally well-equipped 2013 Chaparral 287 SSX combines the performance of a high-output sport boat with the space, comfort, and upscale appointments of a luxury day cruiser. Measuring nearly 29 feet with a wide 9-foot beam, the 287 SSX offers an enormous amount of seating and entertaining space while maintaining the responsive handling for which Chaparral's Extended V-Plane hull is known.

POWER & PERFORMANCE

This is not the base-powered version. She is equipped with the highly desirable upgraded Volvo Penta V8-380 DPS package-a 6.0-liter, fuel-injected V8 producing 380 horsepower.

The engine features factory closed freshwater cooling, protecting both the engine and exhaust system from direct internal exposure to saltwater. Volvo Penta also engineered this power package with variable valve timing and electronic engine controls, delivering strong low-end torque, quick acceleration, smooth midrange response, and impressive top-end performance.

Power is transferred through a Volvo Penta DPS DuoProp outdrive with twin counter-rotating stainless-steel propellers. The DuoProp system provides outstanding grip, quicker planing, improved tracking, better low-speed control, and confident docking compared with a conventional single-prop sterndrive.

The engine has only 266 original hours, as shown on the digital hour meter.

EXCEPTIONALLY WELL MAINTAINED

This is a very well-maintained Florida boat whose owner has continually kept up with her mechanical and cosmetic needs. After every use, the engine and cooling system were flushed religiously-an important part of properly maintaining any saltwater-operated sterndrive boat.

Her overall condition reflects that level of care. The Volvo Penta DuoProp outdrive, stainless-steel propellers, trim tabs, hardware, and other telltale components show exceptionally clean in the photographs, with no visible evidence of the heavy corrosion or neglect commonly found on Florida sterndrive boats.

The engine compartment is equally clean and orderly, further demonstrating consistent maintenance and responsible ownership.

MAJOR 2025 SERVICE

Brand-new exhaust manifolds and risers were professionally installed in 2025-less than one year ago. This represents a significant and valuable recent maintenance upgrade and gives the next owner additional confidence in the boat's mechanical condition.

UPGRADED CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY

The entire interior received upgraded custom upholstery several years ago and remains extremely attractive. The navy-and-white diamond-quilted design gives the boat a more modern and upscale appearance than the original factory interior while complementing the Chaparral's navy hull accents and blue LED lighting.

The upholstery presents beautifully in the photographs, with clean white vinyl, deeply quilted navy inserts, embroidered Chaparral logos, folding armrests, and coordinated seating throughout the bow and cockpit.

LUXURY, COMFORT & ENTERTAINMENT

The Chaparral SSX represented the company's premium sport-boat line, and the difference is immediately noticeable. Its deep bow, substantial freeboard, wide beam, heavy construction, and upscale interior give it the feel of a much larger boat.

The spacious bow features deep wraparound seating, folding armrests, stainless-steel grab rails, integrated cupholders, speakers, and generous storage beneath the cushions.

The oversized cockpit provides plenty of room for family and friends, with comfortable wraparound seating, abundant storage, a wide walk-through windshield, and easy access to the stern and swim platform.
