Chaparral’s Signature 310 Cruiser

admin — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 23:02:22 +0000

With the introduction of the phenomenal new 310 Signature, we didn’t just push the engineering envelope, we shredded it. Taking full advantage of our patented Wide Tech technology, the 310 takes cruiser design to a new level with more style, more storage space, more cabin headroom and more performance than ever thought possible. Everywhere you look-the helm, transom area, even the galley Chaparral’s spark of innovation shines. Topside, the new 310’s standard fiberglass hard top provides ultimate all-weather protection and is reminiscent of cruisers 10 feet longer and twice as expensive. In the cockpit, you get a feeling of total security wrapped in unmatched luxury. Two cockpit seating options meet every need. Ultra refined, the 310 has an all-new cabin door, a carefree single level cockpit, all new helm seating and the finest workmanship imaginable. Below decks, the 310 is a marvel in space efficiency, elegance and workmanship. The aft cabin has considerably more inches of headroom than previous offerings. A clever optional air mattress system in the salon eliminates old-fashioned filler cushions on a boat that introduces a space-saving power ease forward berth that retracts at the flip of a switch. Showcasing a super clean look, the cabin is built with a fiberglass innerliner that even includes a ceiling liner. An oversized LCD television is mounted on a swivel bracket for viewing in both the salon and forward berth. The lighter wood tones of our River Cherry cabinetry create an open and airy feeling. What really makes the 310 state-of-the-art is the phenomenal use of space. The filler cushion for the aft cabin is part of the backrest. Additionally, the side mount cabin table stows in its own space under the dinette seat.
