In 2003, the Chaparral Sunesta 222 was an affordable 22-footer that is perfect for skiing, cruising or overnight weekends. Everywhere passengers look, there's usable storage. The enclosed head has a fiberglass floor, sit-up headroom, and an opening screened port. Instead of stowing the removable Igloo cooler under the seat, taking up valuable space, Chaparral crafted a separate easy-access gunwale compartment. The entertainment center includes trash storage with insert tables available fore and aft. A variety of canvas options round out the ultimate multi-purpose boat in this size range.

This particular Chaparral 222 has been serviced by Reed's Marine since day 1. Owned by one family that cared for it like it was one of their children. Serviced and water ready for a whole lot more adventure that you have to throw at it. Get on board and see what a very well-maintained Chaparral Sunesta looks like.
